Despite Boris rephrasing his policy on a new Routemaster for London, from a commitment to an ambition, a grandstand appearance has already been arranged for the iconic bus.
Alongside the likes of David Beckham, Leona Lewis and our blond bombshell mayor, a Routemaster will be the star of the show in Beijing, as the Chinese city hands over the Olympic baton to London in this summer’s closing ceremony.

The Games arrive in London in 1,500 days - but will a new bus?
