Does this refer to double-decker and articulated buses, or is there such a bus as an articulated double-decker? I know Neoplan built a few such beasts at one time for touring applications, but I've never seen a transit version.

As per the "new" mayor Boris Johnson, (actually over a year now) artics are forever banned from the streets of London town. they are being replaced as rapidly as possible and as of last visit (about a year ago) were becoming conspicuous bu their absence. The big problem is that they just have a too large "street print"
