21st Century Routemaster moves closer as Mayor unveils winning designs

Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, unveiled the winning designs in the New Bus for London competition, and outlined the next steps in delivering a new bus fit for 21st century London based on the iconic Routemaster. 

The Mayor was joined by Transport Commissioner Peter Hendy as he met the winners.  The judges were so impressed with the ideas submitted in the ‘whole bus’ design category that a joint first prize was awarded to Capoco Design Ltd and a collaborative entry from Aston Martin and Foster + Partners.  The two runners up prizes in the ‘whole bus’ design category were awarded to Jamie Martin, a 29 year old transport design graduate, and another collaborative entry from Héctor Serrano Studio, Miñarro García and Javier Esteban.
