Yet since the withdrawal from service of the much- loved Routemaster in the mid-2000s, none of its replacements has succeeded in generating the same kind of affection among the travelling public. Now, however, the stylish, Thomas Heatherwick-designed New Bus for London looks set to recapture the imagination of Londoners and visitors alike. In London’s New Routemaster, automotive expert Tony Lewin tells the remarkable and compelling story of this, the latest incarnation of the London bus, from its very public genesis in 2008 to its first scheduled journey in 2012. Contributions from key personnel provide a unique insight into the detailed thinking behind this innovative vehicle, which is notable as much for its stunning design as its precision engineering, while an illustrated survey of London’s buses down the ages places it in context. Beautifully designed and richly illustrated throughout, London’s New Routemaster is the fitting and must- have account of the most significant London bus since the 1960s – a Routemaster for the twenty-first century. • The official story of the New Bus for London, the true successor to the iconic Routemaster • Features more than 200 illustrations, from initial design sketches and mock-ups to behind-the-scenes manufacturing and testing photographs • Includes comprehensive vehicle specifications and an illustrated timeline of the bus’s creation • Will appeal to both design enthusiasts and transport aficionados TONY LEWIN is a former editor of What Car? magazine, and launched Financial Times Automotive World. He is the author of numerous books on design and the automobile industry, including A–Z of 21st-Century Cars (Merrell). THOMAS HEATHERWICK is an internationally renowned designer and the founder and principal of London-based Heatherwick Studio.
