   #designfail: !London buses require an engineer to adjust the heating controls. Meaning that many have the heat stuck *on* in the summer.

     @hex Crazy. A full bus stuck in a traffic jam, with the heating on, is worse than the tube.

     @hex I eagerly await the first reports of train delays in the UK caused by the 'wrong kind of heat' :-)

     @andyc Usually the excuse relates to the expansion gaps in the rails being insufficient, causing warping.

     @andyc insufficient cloud cover causes the tracks to explode.

     @5l It's idiotic. I should really have tagged it as #UKFail as well, as it's one of a wide range of stupidities.
