Quite an eye catching, and attractive design there, though I thought they could have been a bit more imaginative in name. Routemaster means one thing to me.
Tell them that I came, and no one answered.

When I saw this I thought it was a joke. That bus is ugly, and believe me, I like buses but that is something else.
No, please say it's not true. Long live the Enviro 400.

If it's okay for Boris, it's okay for me too.

Will it still have a conductor, or will there be another way to pay ?
Not having been on a bus since I was about 12, I don't have a problem with its design, it actually looks good and quite green too.
Good colour too, just like our old telephone and post boxes.

Roger, it's a RED bus, not a green bus

Busses don't have footprints Roger, they leave tyre marks

Aww no one wants lovely Sid? I could scare him with my driving....
and I like the bus.. most buses in London dont really have a conductor anyhows... but i am going to miss the old style ones.. i loved those old girs.
Impressed with different stairs and the three doors, that will make it a lot quicker.
