Nothing encapsulates the essence of London quite like the red double-decker Routemaster bus Its iconic design since its 1956 inception has become as much a symbol of the capital as St Paul's or Tower Bridge The design was revolutionary drawing largely on the many innovative technological advances brought about by the development of aircraft during the Second World War Boasting a lightweight two-part sub frame assembly independent front suspension an automatic gearbox power-hydraulic braking & power-steering this truly modern machine was like nothing seen before in public transport The Routemaster was specifically designed & constructed for service in the tough operating conditions of London & its suburbs It served this vast area for nearly half a century & its utility & mechanical reliability made it a dependable workhorse for London Transport leading to several refurbishments & life extensions before it was finally withdrawn from general service in 2005 Cherished by the public & tourists alike it is a genuine classic & many heritage examples remain in working order
- indeed you can still hop on a Routemaster on parts of London's number 9 & 15 routes This book is a delightful celebration of the Routemaster using authentic material covering its exterior & interior design technical aspects & operation & illustrated with diagrams & line drawings throughout There are sections on learning to be a bus driver (circa 1960) behind the scenes in a bus garage reports & press releases on the first Routemasters timetables & bus maps from 1956 instructions for drivers & conductors & even a user's guide to the Gibson bus ticket machine for all aspiring 'clippies' As Mayor of London Boris Johnson's 'new' Routemaster takes to the road it is a timely reminder of just how great the original was
