Looks shit. Huge rear dome on the upper deck upstairs making it nice and dingy inside. Lots of glass in accident prone areas making for long time off the road for repairs (bonded glass on buses usually takes about 24 hours to cure before it can be used again) Looks about a practical in the real world of bus operation as the proverbial chocolate tea pot.....One question from someone who knows well and appreciates the original design and development of the Routmaster, in what way is that an homage to the original? the only thing I can see is the use of AEC wheelnut rings on the front wheels on that computer rendering. (Oh shit. How sad can I be for spotting that - I'll get me coat)

Not as shit as removng the upper deck and hanging it off the arse.

There was an impressive lineup of old routemasters at Liverpool docks waiting for export this last week. I remembered the camera yesterday and they had gone

They were still there on Saturday but had gone by last night. I'm assuming they went to America on the ACL ship that was in yesterday. Theres often some interesting old stuff sat around thats come in from the US - '60's muscle cars and the like.

You're right there is always something of interest there, I must get the camera in the motor.
