Master of the Road

A Heritage Roadmaster waiting for his next tour through the city center

London wouldn't be London without the red double-decker busses.

From 1954 to 1968 these busses looked like this one and were called Roadmaster. Apart from the driver there always was a conductor on board. Passengers boarded and enlightened at the back of the bus, not only at the regular stops but also in between - quite risky and not accessable for wheelchairs.

In 1968, the Roadmasters were replaced by modern busses und today the Heritage Roadmaster operates on two lines, 9 and 15, only. It's great fun to travel on these busses because you can reach many of London's sights and enjoy a ride on a historic bus. Much better value than the hop-on-hop-off tours the big bus companies offer.
