Of course whether any such bus is really a viable proposition is
questionable - the Autocar article claims it "might be viable with a
500 per year production run over nine years", but I suspect that's a
very optimistic estimate.

They cannot be serious! The original Routemaster production run was under
3000. Where on earth do they think they might get demand for over half as
many buses again?
