New Bus For London / New Routemaster October 2015 Update

An October 2015 update film about the New Bus For London / New Routemaster buses which were created and brought into use to fulfil an election manifesto promise by Mayor Boris Johnson. Designed by Heatherwick studios they are being built in Ireland by Wrightbus of Ballymena. There are now over 500 of these buses in daily public service, with (in October 2015) at least several hundred more yet to come. As per the election manifesto promise some of them are used with the rear doorway open so that passengers can "hop on - hop off" when the bus has been caught at red traffic lights (signals) or become stuck in heavy traffic. Some people see these buses as being iconic, others see them as a mayoral vanity project / a waste of money. The footage showing these buses was filmed to show many well-known locations, including: Embankment, Trafalgar Square (several, including Nelson's Column), The Houses Of Parliament, St Pauls Cathedral, Bank, The Supreme Court, The Royal Courts of Justice, The Gherkin, The 'Walkie-Talkie', Marble Arch, Park Lane, Oxford Street, Victoria Bus Station,The British Telecom Tower, Tottenham Court Road, Fleet Street, Strand, Aldwych station... Also seen are: the Old Shoreditch station, disused 1983 Tube Stock trains on a disused section of North London Line viaduct, the cycle superhighway in Clapham, some Regent Three (RT) buses, trolleybuses and real Routemaster buses - the latter both in their 'present-day' guise as heritage buses and in the 1990s when in full daily public service. The film comprises 69 individual scenes, or 72 if each image within the four image montage is counted individually. It took at least 30 hours to make, spread over about 8 days. This excludes time spent visiting the locations to source the footage.
