@countryliner - people do not see standing on public transport as acceptable in the UK, they want a seat.

If you want more capacity you add another deck, it's called a double decker, not rip seats out & make people stand to cram more on - hardly a safe proposal is it?

@Steveminor @Winston - Thanks for the info. However can i ask are you sure that these buses must be fitted with seatbelts as i know quite a few bus operators in the UK who operate buses without seatbelts on private unregistered school bus contract routes. Also i know that elderley and disabled passengers will definetly need to sit down but surely other passengers can manage fine to stand for their journey if there are no seats available (which happens every day on buses all over the UK including on both registered and unregistered school bus routes).

My Question to you @countryliner is... Would a passenger on Stagecoaches UniBus services want to stand for upto 50 minutes getting from Sydenham to The University of Warwick? I certainly would not.

The platinum mmc's can take 23 standing which I thought was a lot

@karl724223 these type of comments are as annoying as the crap posts you frequently complain about, Winston

If anyone is interested YJ03 PKA and YD02 RCY have now moved to Kent Coach Tours and they are mainly used on rural bus routes around the Ashford and Tenterden areas of Kent and East Sussex.

You've not been looking then, they've been serving the baths for years.
