According to Wikipedia, a New Bus for London weighs 11.8t, and a
Routemaster weighs 7.5t.

That's more reasonable. Perhaps the 18 tonnes was fully loaded. RMLs were
8.25 tons, by the way.

87 people weigh a little over 7 tons, using the USA's regulation of
185lbs each. I don't know what the equivalent figure is here, but it
tallies with the above quite well.
