This time on Pete And His Bus I do some work on the bar of 2355 and I fully paint the nose of 2730. It doesn't all go according to plan though.. I also go along to collect the new bus 2634 and join it for the first ride out. Our feature car this time is a 1986 Alfa Romeo Spider.
For my details and our merchandise check out: www.barml2355.com

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.

I’ve literally binge watched the whole series of vids over 3 nights, as once you start, you can’t stop watching it’s so addictive. Also it’s so refreshing to see a different and humorous outlook on restoration and that it doesn’t need to be so intense and regimental all of the time. Great to watch someone do it the way they want to and not be dictated by others. Keep up the good work, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the whole series and will keep waiting for the next instalment.

When I was a signwriter I always pulled off the tape while the paint still had a wet edge, but also because I was impatient to reveal the glory! I also always wore a mask even when using spray cans. You didn't mention that not all RM Grills had that moulded in section for the number plate, mine doesn't. (Sadly I only own a grill not a bus!) Loved all your videos...Now to watch episode 30.

Thanks for another great video, look forward to the next. 42.5 mph is the usual top speed for a bus of this type. Used to be part owner of a 1968 Leyland PD3A/12 and that would cruise at 42-43 mph on the flat, but show it a hill !!!. At the weekend I was on another PD3, a 1958 model, and that was capable of 43mph on the M40, even overtaking an older PD2 on a hill.

Cool buses. I was born in 64. And Dudley had these buses. I would be about five to 8 years old and the conductor was a Indian guy that had two thumbs and he used to push the ticket machine with his second thumb. Lol. He thought it was funny. But I was too young to know not to say look mom he got two thumbs. All I got was shut up. Lol. But I've travelled the world and seen them all over. Thanks for the video. Good luck.

I used to drive 2634 before you owned it, from the old firm that used to operate it. It was the first rml that i drove for a private hire back when i started 6 year ago. I was 19 years old back then. Actually i think I’ve seen you driving up the 404 once or twice (the other bus) since im still working up that way. If my memory serves me correct, i think ive seen this parked up in the engineers yard (i wont say too much) and had a quick nosey around it. What struck me most was the extra headroom 😁

No hubodometer on that one. Time to right the wrong, though LT never used them, only appearing after privatisation! I like the gold London Transport signage. I used to only like the white roundel but have come to appreciate the gold lettering after watching The Nine Road. Agree the black grill mesh looks better than matching red.

the one commercial criticism of the Routemaster as a LT design was that it was too complex, and inital cost expensive compared with other full chassis machines in the market, yet it has been shown over time that the subframes for the running units and the air/hydralics for the brakes / gearbox overall is quite resilliant giving a vehicle that is no more difficult than a large car to run through servicing. Only really Northern General taking the forward entrance body variety was the non LT customer ( given BEA were nudged by LT to buy them ). Regent Vs however sold in decent numbers , given the change to front entrance driver operated larger vehicles, and they must have been more tricky to maintain ( the bonnet alone being a two person handful ), they really must have been sold a quite a discount to make them attractive to the buyers.

Great video as always Pete .. the re-paint of the front grille was worth the effort .. looks great .. re-load tea mug as well! As a real-ale man myself .. I thought frothy fizzy beer was fine .. but if it’s not cold enough .. you will actually taste the beer.. yuck! (That’s why they serve it so cold ! Lol 😉) now pass me that pint of Routemaster Red ..Cheers! 🍻. Loved the journey with RML2634 from near my home town of High Wycombe (was that Binders Yard where she had been stored for so long?) via M40 & Beaconsfield Services. Glad she made it safely down to Kent .. and yes British Bus Engineering at its finest .. you regularly see beautiful examples of 50 year old Routemasters on the road and her predecessor the RT now nearing 70 years old & still going strong along with her sister single deck AEC Regal IV RF class .. only a couple of Sundays back I was even more lucky to witness an even older AEC out in service .. namely a 1921 (yes 101 year old bus!!) single deck S type S243 reg XL8940) taking part in the Running Day at Elstree & Borehamwood!! Look forward to your next video Pete!

Another cracking video Pete , is it worth getting some aerosol paint cans filled, so small issues such as the grill faults could be sorted with less hassle you would also have them for touch ups ?

I didnt really see many of the early routemasters with the small roundel grill version, nor were aware of any/many that had no triangle (were they strictly the ones with Leyland Engines ?) and it was odd gaining the standard AEC Triangle ( though with the London Transport name instead ) given the RTs had it and the commercially sold AEC Bridgemaster and Regent V were so fitted.

Hi Pete, another great video! On the subject of grilles? The silver Hammerite looks good but I expected you to have had that part chrome plated as it appears a bit dull? just my opinion having drove these for some years early in my life as a bus driver.....look forward to seeing the Putney Garage reclaim come up to par (y)

Yeah pete , tbh I'm on the fence with the grill ? ( to many colors) maybe red & silver only ?? when you went to pick up the Bus with Richard , l saw another RM behind it to the left what condition was that in ?. What are your future plans ?? Build up your "Bus fleet" or stick with what you have ?? I am interested in your thoughts😱

Fair enough, the grill always comes down to personal taste. 2355 doesn't have the sliver and it also looks good. The other buses there werein very nice condition and being used for weddings. I'm undecided on future stuff, just really enjoying the ride at the moment. Perhaps something totally different in the future.. Thanks for watching
