In some ways this picture shows the manoeuvrability of all London double-deck buses, as it was able to pull out from behind and get alongside for the lights.
The New Bus for London does have regenerative breaking and drivers have told me the acceleration is very good, so does the hybrid drive line mean that at some time in the future, it could have traction control?

Regenerative Brakes & Traction Control . . . the Buses are catching up, using Rail Technology.

I think you’ll find that buses now use the better technology in the UK and they borrow from everywhere. But buses have the advantage they are more manoeuvrable and use a lot more standard parts.
