Above are the two winning designs of the 'Design A New Bus For London' Competition. The first is a collaborative design from Aston Martin and the architects Foster and PArtners and the second is an entry by Alan Ponsford's Capoco Design. There were many creative and some crazy designs but these two stand out by reflecting the sleekness, sophistication and character of the nation's captial. Both of these designs look to the future with hybrid-drive technology lightweight materials as well as giving a nod to the past of the old Routemaster.
The best designs and concepts have been passed on to bus manufacturers and a competitive tendering process will soon begin. Tfl aim to have the first prototype for the new bus on our roads by 2011.
