I believe the Borismaster is specced to be a record 13.7m long which is

in Central London that they won't get round being that long. The bendies
may be 18m in length but their turning ability is that of a much shorter
vehicle - somewhere between 10-11m.

Why arn't I surprised. I always thought Boris's stand against bendies was
political rather than practical - a way of visibily chucking out something
high profile than Ken brought in rather than a way of improving bus travel
for commuters.

Won't it be ironic if these waste of money routemasters cause just as many
traffic problems as the bendies they replace.
