In the UK, every large town had it's own bus fleet, and these were usually done out in a particular colour scheme. My town, Ipswich, for many years ran green and cream buses - AEC Regents, a sister of the Routemaster, when I was a kid. London Transport used the Routemaster in the main parts of the city, because, for such a large vehicle, they were very manoeuvrable (look on youtube for them being thrown about on a skidpan, if you don't believe me). Green London buses, were used on routes on the outskirts of London, like places in Essex. This fleet were known as 'Green Line' buses. My paternal grandfather used to drive them.
the rere stair case on routemasters is a comon feacture exsept for the door version ones i ave a number of odd ones including RTL RTW RML RM on my fleet
Do you have any more info on the gold 60th anniversary toy fair bus? I got this in a group set and finding info about it is proving difficult, how many were made and is it a desired vehicle? Any help would be great 👍
