Default Final design for the "New Bus for London" (aka BorisBus / newRoutemaster) unveiled

It is a strange combination of about 85% modern bus with the remaining
15% at the back being a grafted-on Routemaster-style platform and
stairs.

If it did run around 90% of the time driver-only with the platform
closed, what would be the point of it?


Maybe the conductors will only be used on the Oxford Street section,
getting off at Marble Arch and manning the next bus back...
