    Pity. I grew up with the classic ones. Wish they kept them around, even if just for the sake of tourism.

      They keep a few of them on the City Circle route (now extended to run through Docklands) as a heritage thing. But really, they’re terrible for people with mobility issues, the have trouble braking in the rain, they have low passenger capacity, and the drivers are liable to get RSIs.

        I know the issues, especially the issues with disability and mobility issues have with them, but my personal sense of nostalgia trumps all of that.
