It has not been beaten since in a number of areas, most notably that
most modern buses weigh half as much again (or double in the case of
bendies).

A chunk more than that...

An RM is about 7.5t ULW.
A Citaro bendy is about 18t ULW.

Actually, an RML (nearer in capacity to a bendy and not appreciably
different from a modern double-decker) is 8.25 tons ULW. You only get a
64-seater RM for 7.5 tons.
