I loved travelling to work on the Routemaster buses. Long after they had been phased out in many parts of the country they remain in service in London as did some of the "Clipes". They buses had two members of staff, the driver drove the conductor or conductress took fares kept order and as well as a bit of banter with the regulars they were able to help customers who were not familiar with the route when to get off at their stop. Great for jumping on and off too as well as very comfortable seats, A sad day when the fleet had to retire due to old age.

Simply this bus says everything about London . Probably the greatest bus of all . And recognised all over the world .

If only we could have a festival like this in the US, with our own classic buses such as the GM Fishbowl, Flxible New Look, Grumman 870, RTS, etc...

So much nostalgia , almost to much to handle. So much part of my life, as was Finsbury Park. Used to catch the 41 to school and then off course going to Finsbury Park i would catch the 127 259 or 279. Still rememberthe passing of the buses they replaced, the trolleybus.

After school in the late 50s we had to catch a bus from outside Charing Cross Station to Marble Arch, we would let the RTs pass and wait for the RM. later there were silver RMs so we would let red ones pass and hang around for a silver. Going to school you took what came first!

Hello from Azerbaijan. These buses have soul because made by genius people, not like electric and plastic scrap which produces now.

Looks really cool with all those beautiful buses..👍👍👍😁 Love that Breakdown Tender. I think am correct in saying...that these buses were produced just outside of Ealing a place by Ironbridge..railway bridge Hanwell Windmill lane where it joins the A4020. Aunty lived nearby..

RML's were the extended length buses as signified by the little extra square window on both sides so why was an ordinary routemaster showing as RML 3??
@Twittler13 жыл бұрын
That particular bus isn’t an RML as we know them. It was 3rd of a batch of RMs that had a Leyland Engine instead of an AEC unit. They were numbered in their own sequence at first, but not for long. They were then just renumbered into the overall sequence as plain RMs. This ‘RML3’ would have been as well, but was given its original number back when it was retired and restored.

Was London transport and the green line the only companies in the UK to have them or did other Regional companies have them

Most enthusiasts who have never driven a Routemaster ever in their life they dictate to Actual Drivers and owners of their Bus how to Drive them and Change gear and they insist on knowing it all about a bus they don’t even own , you get them asking questions then a driver may say their bus Goes 50 MPH and the enthusiast says no that only does 40 MPH and there not automatic, and then they get up the drivers nose, I’ve driven loads of RMs and I wouldn’t tell another driver what there bus does when it isn’t mine

what licences do i need to drive an RM bus
@hannahhamilton26996 жыл бұрын
moped licence. But only if you can keep it on 2 wheels, Hard because there's 6 lol. Just kidding. A bus licence lets you use it to its full potential and take full load of passengers. Otherwise a car licence only lets you carry 8 passengers. If you want to work, you'll need cpc card too.
@kd84afc4 жыл бұрын
@@hannahhamilton2699 unfortunately that's wrong, to drive a larger bus regardless of how many passengers, you will need a full bus license, how ever you are correct that you also need a CPC to work in the bus industry but to drive a RM or RML or any double decker bus, You do need the D entitlement on your license, a B license only covers you to drive cars and upto 3.5t vans, D1 allows you drive minibuses between 9-16 seats, I am a full PCV license holder.
