Politics helped shape big Borismaster order

摘要

Politics has played a big part in the order just announced (see p6) for a production run of 600 New Bus for London 'Borismasters'. Ideally, many of the Transport for London/London Buses team would have liked a modest pilot order of, say, 30 buses sufficient to convert one route to the type, and run them for two or three years to enable them to iron out any possible bugs.
