New Bus for London

A chance to see a life-size mock-up of the 'Mayor's New Bus for London' and compare it with a neighbouring Routemaster bus, from which the new design draws inspiration. Like the Routemaster, the new bus has an open platform at the rear, but includes innovations such as three doors and two staircases. Due to enter service in 2012, the bus also makes use of the latest green technology, meaning that air quality emissions will be reduced by up to 40 per cent when compared with conventional diesel buses.
