including one at the back - and double staircases but Neoman have not
prequalified for "the New Bus for London". Interestingly the Berlin
double deck is "iconic" even in its most modern form but perhaps we
wouldn't want a German bus as a replacement for a German bus (at least
on one or two routes)!

I'd wondered why something along the lines of the Berlin double-
deckers hadn't been considered - they've got quite a few smart
features: the rear staircase takes you straight to the back doors, and
the floor-to-ceiling front window on the top deck is a nice touch.
(Though the headroom on the upper deck seems like it's made for
smaller people - I bashed my head on the ceiling when reaching the top
of the stairs, and then again on the high-level handrail when heading
for a seat)
