Experienced the new 40 this morning! Apart from the driver not being able to operate all of his funky new gadgets properly, it was a very pleasing journey!!


How long they will stay nice is up for debate though.


One thing I do miss from the older design is the "footrest" that ran along the front few seats on the top deck on the left hand side of the bus.

Oh yes... and not only is it as annoying as previous busses... it now seems to speak randomly at you!!!


Didn't take long for the greasy haired amongst the 40 passengers to make the windows all streaky and minging with their lovely hair products. Gross.

Try sitting a bit further back on the left on the new buses - I did this morning and enjoyed the footrest which I am also a fan of!

I always have trouble with term ?environmentally friendly? would ?less environmentally damaging? be more accurate term as the former seem to imply that they are improving the environment. I?ll never make it in marketing!

Anybody trying to travel on one of these this morning at around 8am will have witnessed a comedy of errors. First bus to arrive parked up at the Plough bus stop (rather than usual parking spot behind LL), at which point the driver got out a copy of The Sun, and then proceeded to block the bus lane inexplicably for the next 10 minutes. When the next one finally arrived, it made it as far as Moxon's before the door broke and the driver told everybody to get off.


New 40, new danger. Teething problems, I know, but I got a shoeing when I turned up late for work. :(

    • Please don't call them "pests". They are animals who have as much right to be here as we do. Which doesn't mean we can't use humane ways to keep them off our crops, like fruit cages and netting.
    • This thread started about how to deal with pests that cause a lot of damage and leave unpleasant offerings, but has morphed into concerns about welfare for the pests.  I think it's time that local authorities gave us help with foxes and squirrels:  it's especially difficult trying to grow fruit and veg when these animals cause so much destruction.
    • Peter has been recommended many times on here and we can now also recommend him highly, having just had our wetroom walk-in shower done. Prompt response, came when he said, engaged with us helpfully when decisions had to be made, cleaned up well at the end and finished on time. He has been tiling 25 years, and is clearly expert. He also does e.g. victorian tiled pathways.   
    • They properly think " its that weirdo who gives us stage lighting whilst we ae mating, again'" 😅
