London’s new Routemaster bus – Click above to watch a virtual tour after the jump<\/a><\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nNorthern Ireland’s Wrightbus has officially won the contract to build London’s next double-decker bus – the new Routemaster – and this is what it will look like. This rendering of the final version comes from the winning entry in the design contest<\/a>, drawn up by Capoco Design. That drawing was given to Wrightbus and made ready for actual use on the streets of The City.<\/p>\n

Although it’s roughly ten feet longer than the old Routemaster, it seats two fewer people, but those 62 folks will have a better time of it getting in and out with three points of entry. Also improved are means of accessing all areas of the bus with two staircases inside, and extensive use of glass aims to keep the behemoth from appearing so behemoth-y. <\/p>\n

Having been blessed by London Mayor Boris Johnson himself, the new Routemaster will be showing up on London roads in 2012. Follow the jump<\/a> to look around it for now.<\/p>\n
