It looks better than I expected, I wonder if Wright will make a single door version for anyone to buy, like another Model alongside the Gemini??

I guess Boris Got what he wanted, Its a Good Thing they put the conventional dual door layout, with a routemaster style rear entrance.
What would happen in Winter when its freezing and the rear entrance is wide open, all the air comes in the bus as its doing 20mph, I've felt that one winter on the London Route 36 to New Cross, on the original routemaster back pre 2004.
Plus I'd like to see Alexander Dennis Have a go at a routemaster, im imagining rear entranced Enviro 400 lol ;D

I mean, you have 70 people on the bus, no problems with unloading with the 2 doors. Is this hideous thing going to have a conductor too? Waste of money and a stupid gimmick from an idiot of a man. |

The conductors and rear opening will only be used in the peaks - the conductors controlling people trying to jump on / off in order to satisfy HSE requirments. Seems barking mad to me. And what happens to TFL bus age ruling - are these going to be exempt from it as I cannot see them being used anywhere else.
