This time on Pete And His Bus we go back and have a look at all the work we have done on RM843 (the bus in the field) and I reveal what has happened recently! It might not be good news, and by the looks of it an emergency plan is needed to save her again!!
I would like to thank:
Matt for helping me push!
Will and Rob at: www.dynesmotorgroup.co.uk/dynes-recovery
The owners of RM843
and all of you for watching!

About Pete And His Bus: Pete is a normal (ish) guy who has a big passion for old vehicles and particularly old buses. He is NOT a trained mechanic nor is he a professional restorer. He enjoys converting vehicles but he can not promise that what he is doing is going to work on your vehicle. Nor can he promise that you won’t harm yourself if you were you to attempt the things he does. He recommends that you are safe and responsible with machinery and equipment even if you’ve seen him messing about with it. A workshop and it’s content can be a dangerous place. If you are in doubt about your own vehicle, contact a professional for advice.

So the owners would rather it stays in a field and rot than selling it to you? But are happy for you to fix it for free? And store it for them for free? I can see you genuinely care about the history behind the bus which is why you are doing what you are doing but the owners seem to be taking you for a ride which is sad 😔 if they cared at all for the bus they would sell it to you at a heavy discount for the work you have already put into it

Wonderful job Pete. My father was a LT bus driver during the Second World War until he joined up and drove amo trucks. On returning after the war he returned to the buses out of Sidcup Garage which was actually in Footscray. I remember they had conductorsto issue tickets. Many many thanks for bringing these memories back to an 86 year old.

Fantastic recovery of a beautiful British icon Pete, I drove RM’s out of Arbroath “Strathtay Scottish” depot in 1985.. they still had LT badges above the grill… being an Englishman living in Scotland I felt right at home when in the cab knowing they were ex LT buses… they drove beautifully and my run was Montrose to Ninewells hospital in Dundee… I loved every minute 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧

My father was a driver in the Royal Engineers during WW2 from 1939 onwards. In the early 60s I remember going with him to the Chiswick bus dept for him to take his Public Vehicle test which he passed. He was then based at Mortlake garage and later used to drive RMs on the 96 bus route to Dartford and I remember seeing him parked up outside the Museum in Market street. England today seems like another world now, far removed from the country he and his comrades thought they had saved. 😢

Great job! You can take a length of heavy pipe or box tube a few meters long and drop a chain through it, leaving just enough to hook it up. Then hook up the chain between the vehicles to something solid, wiring the hooks to keep them from coming loose.This makes a poorman's tow bar that will push or pull. Just hook it short on the ends so it doesn't push back into something critical.

This made me so happy and actually brought a sentimental tear to my eye. Until the age of 6 I lived in a British Leyland 600. Long before the New Age movement (I'm 45 now). The day my parents sold it and the new owners drove it away, I was inconsolable. Apparently it was to make it's way to Portugal, but I have no idea if it did or where it is now. My parents would take it to the odd fair and festival but it was mainly static whilst they built/converted our new home. When ever I step into one of these classic split cab buses, it feels like a home coming to me. ❤️

Oh wowowow! I have driven by that bus many times over the years and sometimes pointed it out to passengers casually then noticed once day it was gone. Just clicked on the thumbnail and as soon as it was shown at 01:05 recognised the bus immediately. That's awesome, great work chaps.

Kind of remembers me of when once thought to myself: "Uh, it won't hurt if I just left the car unlocked for a minute in front of my own house, I'll be back in no time..." And then a tramp sat in it smoking and burning the carpet.

I really enjoyed this video. As a "geezer from the smoke", I remember with joy as a boy who used to travel on the route 123 from Ilford to Manor House on Saturdays to see my gran. Always got the upper deck front seats. Good old RM's.

They are inherently extremely resilient. There’s a big thud though as the rear brakes in-seize. That’s the only place they get very stuck. 👍

I reckon if you live long enough you will rescue every Routemaster ever made or at least made certain that every one made contributed at least one part to the ones which remain….and so…they all do live!
