Yes, second generation Citaro G (G = articulated).

Not really a classic sight for that location... :/

One of TfL's much-hated Bendibuses, which Mayor Boris Johnson intends to replace. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Bus_for_London

Already scheduled to be replaced? They're certainly not the best buses ever made; nevertheless, they're only a couple of years old.

Boris wants to end the use of articulated buses as a matter of policy. It's nothing to do with the age of individual buses.

I see, but does that make sense? I don't know much about the City of London's financial situation, but wouldn't this political decision be quite costly?

Not really. Buses are owned and run by private franchisees, so useless bendibuses are their problem, not Transport for London's. (TfL is part of the Greater London Authority, headed hy the Mayor of London. The City of London, headed by the Lord Mayor, is the local authority for the original medieval city, the "Square Mile", where the banks traditionally had their headquarters. The City of London, the City of Westminster and the other London boroughs together make up Greater London.)

Anyway, I think the plan is to remove bendibuses from each route when its franchise expires. All TfL has to do is write a new tender document (which it would do anyway) specifying double-deckers instead.

Alright, now I understand. Sorry for mixing up the correct terms. Thanks a lot, Gag!

Also, many of TfL's franchisees have franchises in other parts of the UK. It's therefore not impossible that bendibuses will appear in other cities after being outlawed in London.
