No you haven't missed anything. Some contestants have already been told that they have not won the competition, but the winner is still yet to be announced.
My goodness. It's got something like a 10m wheelbase! It's interesting to see how the muppets who enter this thing are trying hard to press all Boris's buttons for him. It's got more seats than a bendy bus, you know!
"what more could any car-bound central London Tory need to persuade them out of their private vehicles?"
Bouncers to keep out anyone without a private income?
The darkened window will be to avoid solar gain which, isn't a particular issue in winter, when the open platform will sort out any overheating nicely.
Crossland design is another entry that has used the maximum dimensions allowed for the bus 13.5m!!! The bus should be no more than 11m as they have to get round corners.
Informed bus cranks tell me that 13.5m buses won't fit in the garages, so it won't be that big. Indeed, I've no idea why that was even specified as a maximum dimension.

I'm more fascinated by the strip-club style pole-dancing area. I would have thought Boris would have loved that.
Pole dancing, blacked-out windows, what more could any car-bound central London Tory need to persuade them out of their private vehicles?
Oh yes the blacked out windows. What is that all about? Perhaps one does not want to be seen in one's public transport.

I fucking love it.
James is happy!
I thought of a stripping pole too! I think every bus should definitely have that.
It has ceiling-suspended seating. I hated it at first but am beginning to get quite excited around now.
What's the advantage to having ceiling-suspended seating then?
what about this one

Oh yes that's definitely a contender.
