Few things are as synonymous with London as its famous red buses,
thousands of which carry millions of passengers a year on hundreds
of separate routes. Yet since the withdrawal from service of the
much-loved Routemaster in the mid-2000s, none of its replacements
has succeeded in generating the same kind of affection among the
travelling public. Now, however, the stylish, Thomas
Heatherwick-designed New Routemaster looks set to recapture the
imagination of Londoners and visitors alike. In The New
Routemaster, automotive expert Tony Lewin tells the remarkable and
compelling story of this, the latest incarnation of the London bus,
from its very public genesis in 2008 to its first scheduled journey
in 2012. Contributions from key personnel provide a unique insight
into the detailed thinking behind this innovative vehicle, which is
notable as much for its stunning design as its precision
engineering, while an illustrated survey of London's buses down the
ages places it in context. Beautifully designed and richly
illustrated throughout, The New Routemaster is the fitting and
must-have account of the most significant London bus since the
1960s - a Routemaster for the twenty-first century.
