The New Routemaster, sometimes called Boris Bus (after Boris Johnson that was the mayor of London when the model was introduced in London... and before the OTHER Boris bus, the one with lies). It is different than later introduced Wright SRM, but the one pictured has a ramp/third door and a second staircase there. It was partially introduced not only to replace old Routemasters, but also to replace articulated (bendy) buses, that were introduced during the era of Ken Livingstone in 2001 and were not liked by many (apparently they didn't work well on London streets). It was actually even in Boris manifesto in 2008. (previous | next | back to album | 2020:02:10 14:31:10 | 57% of an album)
