The Routemaster appreciation thread

Post Reply New Topic

My car sounds like a routemaster, and it vibrate like one when it is idling. It is a shame I cant sleep and drive at the same time.

Remove left rear door... add second deck... VOILA!! ! ROUTEMASTER!

When in doubt, ask an autistic. Chances are, they're obsessed with what you need to know.

A nice looking silver Routemaster. I believe this is to celebrate the Queen's jubilee or something like that


There's RM 1968 in all its glory


I'm on board!


Why does lightning strike Routemaster busses? Because they have conductors!! Ha ha ha!


There's RM 1898

Sports car manufacturer Aston Martin intends to bring back the Routemaster!

The Warwickshire-based firm is joint winner of a competition to design a new Routemaster bus for London, sharing the £25,000 first prize with bus, coach and truck design firm Capoco Design, based in Wiltshire. A Transport for London spokesman said the first of the greener and more accessible (with wheelchair, even!), hop-on hop-off, double-deckers could be in service by 2011.

Oh, so its a buss! Finally i know, i have seen
the word "Routemaster" so many times here
and always thought "wonder what that is.."
i thought it had something to do with computers,
would never have guessed busses in a million years

Wow, thanks for the photos, WillMcC! I don't like the silver painted bus though. It spoils it.

I love Routemasters. I used to jump in and out of them on Oxford Street regularly. now they only have those damn bendy busses, whoever invented those should be killed without a trial

the aston martin routemaster design:



i quite like it, it reminds me of the old double-decker trams with the round ends.

This model looks a little bit more like the original


Although the first runner-up looks a lot more like the original

I like the rounded design of the first, but also like the more true-to-the-original form of the second.

Also, bendy buses are a step BACKWARDS in my opinion. Why take up air that nobody's using and take up more road in an already congested city? Sounds like a great idea, RIGHT!?!
