It isn't JUST a bus. Here's the one I was on, with one of the awful Heatherwick pretenders in the background4 -
I hope you ran and jumped on when it was moving, had a fag upstairs then jumped off at the traffic lights.

Part of this event. Open House events are happening this weekend too
And that's not a Routemaster, it's an RT type, so even older3 -

Oh the memories of the wonderful Routemaster...being able to jump on and off at will, hopefully before the conductor had a chance to get your fare...🙄3

Of course, we never even got Routemasters out Eltham way, for some reason. Probably the same reason we never got a Tube line.eastterrace6168 said:Oh the memories of the wonderful Routemaster...being able to jump on and off at will, hopefully before the conductor had a chance to get your fare...🙄0 -

Ahh smoking on the top deck of a bus.
Nearly as good as having your own private booth on a train to smoke in. I really thought after Brexit we could of brought that back in. Plus the seats were more comfortable.1 -
Spotted some (original) Routemasters at large on the 38 route going the other way, so clearly they're out and about too. Just happen to have landed myself with two RTs. Not complaining; I've been on original Routemasters before in my youth!0

When I worked in Kensington they operated Routemasters on a heritage version of the 9 until 2014. Quite a nice way of getting into town, especially as a lot of people didn't realise that this was a normal TfL service.1

Yes, I recall! But the ones I got were to get to school between 1997 and 2000, back when they were a bit more prevalent...killerandflash said:When I worked in Kensington they operated Routemasters on a heritage version of the 9 until 2014.

The one good thing about the Borismasters was the open platform. But as they required an extra member of staff to stand next to it, Sadiq closed it when he took charge.1

Not a train, very disappointing2

Happy to be corrected - but I think the reason there is no tube to SE London is because of the soil compositionPragueAddick said:

Soil composition is an excuse, they didn't want to build it. No difference between most of East London and SE London for soil.Lordflashheart said:

As for routemasters in Eltham, pretty sure the 21 used to run as one back in the 80s/early 90s from Sidcup via Lewisham and the Old Kent Rd and that would have gone through Eltham. And pretty sure the 122 was a routemaster for a bit in the late 70s.2 -
The 21 London Bridge to Sidcup was a definitely a RM (this thread is soooo Charlton)PragueAddick said:

Growing up in the 70s and 80s I got either the 21 or 122 to school. Both were routemasters then so can only assume they would have been from the outset.rananegra said:
