    Fun fact: these buses were actually intended to compete with the Enviro 400 City and be sold outside of London! But I guess the design was just too impractical in comparison.

      I don't think it was the design, it was the price and the engine. Both were inferior to the cheaper alternatives by both ADL and Wright. If the cost was reasonable, I think it would have seen more adoption.

    Never knew there were only 6 in service. This bus is really common for me as it’s on the H12, 340 and some school routes like 696, 697 and 698 but I’m pretty sure just 698.

      Shame, if they weren't so expensive, maybe they'd have been more popular. I mean, everyone's moving on to EV's now anyway, maybe they should have been designed for that instead.

    Thank you for a really useful historical document. Thanks for expanding upon the history of "Son of Routemaster - sometimes there are evolutionary dead-ends. The front still looks stylish; Upstarirs rear probably more sensible outside of the high-capacity needs of London routes. The air vents in the ceiling at 2:35 would indicate that air-con *is* installed??

    I've ridden on both, and the Routemaster feels more stylish with its rear staircase and bordeaux coloured interior.
    I think they have not been exported because there is no provision for airconditioning - both HK and SG would require aircon.
    I'm impressed with this comparison - i didn't think anyone else would notice, much less make a video about it. Great job.

      ​@@glitchFan2428the new London mayor stopped these buses from being made and exported to Asian markets. When sadiq Khan took over as new mayor of London. The new route master ones stopped being made. If im correct it was to save money for tfl for their budget. And also the Boris bus was last in Singapore because boris Johnson was last mayor of London in 2014 and 2016. Ever since New mayor of London took over. These buses are not being made. But they won't export to SG or Other asian countries. Because these buses the New route masters and SRM are a symbol of London. So I do belive London is it's rightfull home. Also it also attracts tourists. So my advice to Singaporeans will be to visit London for the 3 door Boris buses. Since I know your channel is a mix of Singapore and UK buses content. And the buses can only be enjoyed in London.

    really easy to tell actually, even from the right side and front. On the right side, NRMs should not have windows and seats stretching all the way back (if it did it's a B5LH (SRM)); on the front, just look at the licence, NRMs all have LTZ xxxx regs.

    I expect the only thing the Enviro 400s beat this bus on is price. This probably is more expensive, but like cars, you get what you pay for. This bus looks more solid and better built. It also has proper old style Routemaster seats with a full hand rail. I think the loss of the second staircase and third door is a shame. Very handy features on busy peak period routes, when you need to get off but the first staircase and centre doors are obstructed. I've missed a stop a few times on standard layout buses due to this problem, the driver moving off while you're stuck on the stairs. The extra staircase and exit could be a life-saver in an accident or fire. The LT (AKA New Routemaster) should have become the standard bus across all London as the original Routemaster was, but Mayor Khan couldn't stomach it's link to Boris Johnson and cancelled further orders. No doubt if it were a Livingstone project Khan would have continued the orders for more LTs. I'm still waiting for a Khan success...

    In some ways you might wonder why more were not built or ordered. The newer version of the Routemaster hasn’t had a decline in use but been reworked as things go. I think some operators prefer to have a choice of chassis or bodywork supplier and maybe this was the one that didn’t have the edge. The Enviro 400 City seems a good option and many have been sought so maybe that speaks volumes. Wrightbus vehicles are around London,maybe the engine and mechanics are not so great and that’s possibly why it’s had a limited success or impact.

      @@Wishful-Thinking For me the distinguishing features of a Routemaster are the driver's cab, the rear entry platform, the stairs at the back, and of course being made by AEC. As AEC ceased to exist in 1979, I'm going to have to concede that if there are going to be new Routemasters, they're going to be made by other companies. And as most buses these are driver only operated, the driver's cab isn't coming back. So the only things remaining are the platform and the rear stairs. So if there are going to be new routemasters, they need to have at least the rear platform, and probably the rear stairs. Otherwise it's just a bus.

    Rubbish bus very trash. And ugly bus. One of these was on X140 before the bus became SL9. How ever route SL9 did trial this bus on route SL9 for the SRM wright bus. The New Bus for London has 3 doors. This one only haves 2 doors. They are the same from the front of the buses but different at the back. X140 or now SL9 will not be doing this bus anymore. Most likely these buses will be replaced with the new enviro 400 city mmcs. I be very surprised if a SRM a metroline one appears on the Uxbridge routes like routes U4. This will be something to keep an eye out on the SRM and new route master buses. For the Uxbridge buses. As for the Harrow buses London sovereign for the SRMs. Also the popular bus is the N9. Because it's route masters are very real and not fake. As for this route master SRM is completely fake and trash.
