New Routemaster bus

Last edited:
From the front it just looks like any other bus but with the rear jump on/off bit but looking at the roof lines I can see more curves :)
 

I was about to post something like that :)

IIRC it's not uncommon for the development costs of a new specific design to be upfront, hence why the likes of military aircraft often get much cheaper if they are ordered by a second country a couple of years later, the people that want the design effectively pay most of the costs themselves with the first few delivered (and not too dissimilar to the way computer hardware is always expensive for the early adopters).

330k isn't a bad price for one from what I understand, as IIRC coaches which are usually built on a fairly standard body with the interiors being bespoke often cost £400k+
