Description
The New Routemaster: A London Icon Reborn In 2011, a new era for London's buses began with the unveiling of the first prototype of the New Routemaster. Designed in collaboration with Heatherwick Studios, this innovative vehicle was built to meet the needs of the city's growing population. The result is a bus that has become an instantly recognizable landmark on London's streets. With its distinctive dual staircase and three doors, the New Routemaster is a unique addition to the city's transportation network. After six years of production, 1,000 examples were delivered to London, all bearing the specially commissioned LTZ series registration. This book tells the story behind the creation and launch of this iconic bus, exploring its design, construction, and impact on the city. From concept to completion, the New Routemaster is a fascinating tale of innovation and engineering. With detailed photographs and illustrations, this book provides a comprehensive look at the history and significance of this modern London classic.
