Default Maximun length of buses

Hello,

I was looking at
http://www.vanhool.com/products_bus_...Categ oryID=1
and wondered if such a vehicle could legally operate in London?


I think they have to worry about longer vehicles on roads which are simply
too small such as those traversed by route 73


There is draft legislation for 18.75m buses
http://www.dft.gov.uk/stellent/group...dft_roads_pdf_
507657.pdf so that means for the moment there is a shorter maximum
length. Does anyone know what that is?


18 metres is the length of the Bendis used in London at the moment.
