Apologies if this has been covered already, but I can't see anything suggesting as much.

There is also a time-lapse video of it under construction and plenty of specifications for anyone interested.

The New Bus for London is a bus the Capital can be proud of. Inspired by the old Routemaster, it is modern, fully accessible and uses the latest green technology.
The first new bus for London was unveiled by Mayor Boris Johnson in Northern Ireland in November 2011.
It's the first bus designed specifically for the Capital's streets for more than 50 years. A significant feature inspired by the Routemaster is the open rear platform.
The prototype is due to arrive in London in December 2011, to be joined later by seven others. They're expected to enter passenger service in early 2012.
