Routemaster Running Day Report

This was on Bank Holiday Monday Aug 28th.

Many different Routemaster's were running on trips to Brooklands Museum and back.

This should be the second to last special day from the old premises before they move after October this year.

The very first Routemaster was running (RM1) as well as other examples.

Other Routemasters came afterwards to LT from other operators such as BEA/British Airways RMA class. They were originally used to transport passengers from West London Air Terminal to Heathrow along the M4 and pulled luggage trailers.

After the official end to normal Routemaster services, there is still a Tourist service on some Central London Routes. To prove it here are 2 of my photos onboard such a bus.
