The first of the 202 Yutongmasters, about to hit the streets of Macedonia

Don't think it would be too difficult to build right-hand drive version of this?

This design seems to be the way many of us would like to see a Routemaster replacement, assuming the panelwork and windows share parallel frame spacings, it should be possible to 'swap sides' just as was done on the Hong Kong export Routemasters (The real ones where they moved the stairs etc.

It could be worth doing if large orders could be had.

My bus number (if any): RML 2547
