{"product_id":"londons-new-routemasters-david-beddall-9781445687384","title":"London's New Routemasters","description":"Inspired by the AEC Routemaster, the New Bus for London, later renamed the 'New Routemaster', was the first bus specifically built for use in London since 1968, when the last Routemaster machines were constructed. Boris Johnson wished for a new version of the Routemaster bus to be designed and built, subsequently launching a competition for the design of such a vehicle. Wrightbus gained the contract to build the vehicle, using the design submitted by the Heatherwick Studios. The first prototype was unveiled in December 2011, with the last examples being delivered to London six years later. 1,000 examples were built, and all gained registrations in a specially commissioned LTZ series.Sporting a dual-staircase and three doors, this vehicle has become a London landmark in its own right.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Beddall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1445687380\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781445687384\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amberley Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.50w x 0.40d","brand":"David Beddall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065599996159,"sku":"9781445687384","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0ef1357d-c1f8-4579-a76a-bc70318a7de7.jpg?v=1768676048","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/londons-new-routemasters-david-beddall-9781445687384","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
