UK - London - Broken down Routemaster 'Boris' bus

A new model of Routemaster bus has broken down and disrupts traffic in a City of London street. The New Bus for London, sometimes referred to as NB4L, and colloquially as the New Routemaster or Borismaster (after the Mayor of London who drove their introduction) is a 21st-century replacement of the iconic AEC Routemaster as a bus built specifically for use in London. Designed by Heatherwick Studio, it is built by Wrightbus, and features the 'hop-on hop-off' rear open platform of the original Routemaster, but meets the requirements for modern buses to be fully accessible. The first bus entered service on 27 February 2012. The cost of each bus is £354,500.
