True enough or for people with prams, personally I always go upstairs anyway but not everybody can.

The other thing, if your sitting upstairs near the front on some early DLAs, because the stairs are towards the rear you have to leave your seat a little bit earlier than on buses with forward stairs otherwise you'll miss your stop.

Yes and the bell does not come until the stairs and is the reason why.

could it have been towed back to Green Lane as one was coming out of there earlier.

I wouldnt have thought so, direct to speke would have been the likely thing.
