The Route master is and will always be the best bus.

My Dad use to drive these buses on Routes 10 and 139 when he was based at Chalk Farm in the early 1990's before getting transferred to Holloway when Chalk Farm closed. Always went down on school holidays to travel around with him. Good times too

@LondonVisited 4 месяца назад

Wow, great routes an the 139 also called the Christmas Bus route because of seeing all the great decorations. They must have been great times on holidays :)

Route Masters Rule !!! I would get on the bus and just go round and round all day. I hope more people use it. The upholstery was much cleaner and fancier than in my day. Also the upstairs was for smokers so the windows 🪟 weren't clear. Used to hate having to go 🚶 upstairs if there were no seats downstairs. When ever I see these in museums I always look for 33 and 281 as they were my old routes. Have never seen one though. Memories of going on trips to Hounslow, Twickenham, Richmond and Kingston. Going to Richmond ice rink on a Saturday morning. When my secondary school moved we had to catch them as it was too long a way to cycle anymore. 🚲. The bus stop we waited at to go to school was supposedly opposite flats were Elvis Costello lived with his first wife before he got really famous. My girls 👧 school and the other girls school in the area had to join up. At one point it looked like one would have to go and that school 🏫 go to a mixed school 🏫 that was basically a boys school. One particular conducted was pro the other school. The other school was before us on the way home and sometimes deliberately go past the bus stops even though you could see the bus wasn't full. He was just nasty. If he stopped at our stops he was rude and very restrictive about letting you on. There was always a surge to get on and one time I got pushed out to the front 🙃 and was by myself in front of him. He wasn't very impressed!!!! The buses 🚌 were also paramount to the end of trips with the family and coming home 🏡 from the train 🚆 or the underground 🚇😀. There was always a sense of relief going home 🏡 on one of those buses 🚌😀. I would love to go on one again and I am sure my brother would too. I didn't know they had a route 😳 before. I am so jealous of you. The modern ones and tourist buses 🚌 maybe give you a better view because of the way the windows 🪟 are, but like you showed you got great views and photo 📷 ops.

Lesley absolutely loved that and your memories all through those buses. It's incredible what different things provoke. Funnily enough when 8m outer London now and I see a red bus I always consider that I'm in central London as you say the connection from the tube to wherever you're going! Thanks so much and I'm off to play a bit of Watching The Detectives! 🎶🎵👍😀

@paulajarman9314 Год назад

Can't wait to do this when we visit again.

@LondonVisited Год назад

Another to the list 😂👍

@DianasYTChannel Год назад

Thanks for sharing this ride with us. Wish I could do this. Love it. 🤗

@LondonVisited Год назад

Thanks so much for always watching 👍😀

As a boy in the 60s my brother and I would get the 77a routemaster from Clapham Junction which would pass Vauxhall then Westminster Bridge, Whitehall, Trafalgar Square and The Strand. A great ride in itself and we would walk into the city via Fleet street which was still the home of the press!

@LondonVisited Год назад

What a fantastic route taking in those spots and yes the mighty Fleet Street press at the time, the really impressive buildings of the Express and Telegraph down there. Wonderful, thanks so much for sharing 👍😀

@ianbillericay Год назад

I’ve ridden loads of these in the last few years, I’ve had a drive as well

@LondonVisited Год назад

Fantastic, bet that was amazing fun!

@deniseaschmann4225 Год назад

Wonderful! Thank you for doing this, for those of us who only dream of going to London one day. I enjoyed this little tour very much!

@LondonVisited Год назад

Thanks Denise, great to have you here and anything you want covered just let me know 👍😀

@Wisdom-Nuggets-Tid-Bits Год назад

I so enjoyed this journey! Going around London on a good ole double decker bus. A true must on my bucket list in London! I loved the refurbished seating. It is beautiful. Also, the interior of the bus is so cheery. The stories we could hear from the years of traffic on that bus. What is the probability of my getting that exact same seat? The best seat in all of London. A perfect way to see London. It is good that people can get on the bus at will. Fabulous. Thank you for this one, Steve. A treat indeed.

@LondonVisited Год назад

I was really surprised as the only one on the bus and getting it from the start at Waterloo gives a great chance of getting that seat! 👍😀

@MrGranturismofan1 Год назад

I really hope I wont have any problems trying to catch one since reviews for this have been mixed. Still can't wait until August this year to ride it again!

@LondonVisited Год назад

Wow, I was in luck then when I took my ride - go for it they are fun to ride aren't they! :)
