New Routemasters

In 2008, London mayor Boris Johnson announced his plans to introduce a New Bus for London designed by Londoners. The 2 winners were the car manufacturer Aston Martin and desingers Foster + Partners, Transport for London then worked with Thomas Heatherwick to produce a final design. 

Transport for London then put the design up for tender, similar to the route tendering system, which WrightBus of Northern Ireland won. They produced a prototype which can now be found in the Transport for London mueseum and 8 others which began service with Arriva London on route 38. There going to be just over 600 of these vehicles on London's streets by 2017. Look at the list below to see the ones in service.
