Many drivers may well be pleased to see the end of the bendy bus. The bendy bus in London were withdrawn from route 38 on 14th November 2009, and replaced by the more traditional double decker buses.

Double-decker buses will take over on the route between Victoria Station and Clapton Pond, with the route also changing on weekdays.

Every bus (except on evenings and weekends) will now run between Victoria and Hackney Central with alternate buses carrying on to Clapton Pond.

Public opinion has, for a long while, made it very clear that the bendy buses were not popular or wanted. Drivers using those routes have suffered somewhat, some of whom may well have given up using their own transport to get around the city because of them.

With the withdrawal in full flow and the rest of the bendy bus fleet due to be withdrawn by the end of 2011, those car drivers that decide to return to using their own transport will need to remember that car parking in London is still not a given.
