Before you get too excited look at the photos of the front, especially
the headlights..
That model is not what has become known as Roastmaster.


My thoughts exactly. The registration and fleet number location aren't right
for a New Routemaster either. Which other buses have that front and
staircase styling now?


It's an Alexander Dennis Enviro400H City model, which is a hybrid:

The windowed staircase in particular is familiar from the NBFL design,
as are the curved front windows.
