Mayor drives first New Bus for London

The Mayor of London will drive the first new bus for London off the production line today (4 November) in a major step towards the commitment made in his last election manifesto.

The New Bus for London is the first bus designed specifically for the streets of London in more than 50 years and has been built by specialist engineers at the Wrightbus factory in Ballymena, Northern Ireland. In just under two years the bus has gone from the drawing board to a fully functioning prototype.
