#Transport for #London Freedom of Information release:
#TfL has published documents concerning the New Bus for London (New Routemaster) project between 2009 and 2010. The papers outline plans for a modern successor to the Routemaster, featuring an open rear platform, hybrid engine, three-door layout and a second crew member to improve passenger flow and safety.

The project was treated as a major Mayoral priority, with Wrightbus awarded the design and development contract in February 2010. Initial funding of £495,000 later increased to more than £11 million as the scope expanded to include prototypes and test vehicles.

The documents also highlight concerns over costs, safety and delivery timescales. TfL estimated wider operational costs could reach £227 million, largely linked to staffing requirements, while risks included meeting emissions standards and delivering the buses in time for the 2012 target. 🚍
