and the actual new London bus

According to this webpage the first new bus for London was unveiled by Mayor Boris Johnson in Northern Ireland this month.

"It's the first bus designed specifically for the Capital's streets for more than 50 years. A significant feature inspired by the Routemaster is the open rear platform.

"The prototype is due to arrive in London in December 2011, to be joined later by seven others. They're expected to enter passenger service in early 2012."

On 11 November last year, a life-size mock-up of the Mayor's New Bus for London was unveiled at the London Transport Museum's Acton depot. Some Greater London Authority pics below.
