“Best Bus For London” (Season 12, Episode 5)

Richard Hammond wanted to determine what is the best bus for London. His experiment was to stage a race with various buses with racing drivers (and Hammond) behind the wheel.

  • Tom Chilton – Double decker bus
  • Matt Neal – Midibus
  • Anthony Reid – Single decker bus
  • Gordon Shedden – Articulated bus
  • Richard Hammond – Articulated bus

The race was glorified demolition derby and Anthony Reid won it in the single decker bus.
