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 Big Ben or Tower Bridge. The wealth of memorabilia devoted to it across London alone is testament to its status & longevity. Yet from humble, localised origins, its influence has extended across the world, seeing service in Alaska, New Zealand & Sri Lanka. 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. Cherished by the public & tourists alike, 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. As the 'new' Routemaster takes to the road it is a timely reminder of just how great the original was. ...
