Answer from Chief Clark
Actually, it is not exclusively the old 'Routemaster' buses with a pressure of 90psi (6 atmospheres). The new ones do as well, though Red Ken's bendy busses have a lower pressure. Also a champagne bottle is made in two halves and joined vertically which is why you can feel a seam down the side of the bottle

Answer from Jonathan Ray Guru
It's about 90lbs per square inch, roughly the same as that in the tyre of an old London double decker bus. And, did you know that the longest recorded flight of a champagne cork from a bottle (as per the Guinness Book of Records) was 177 ft and 9 inches?
