The Routemaster Pocket-book
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 and longevity. Yet from humble, localised origins, its influence has extended across the world, seeing service in Alaska, New Zealand and 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 and power-steering, this truly modern machine
was like nothing seen before in public transport. Cherished by the public and tourists alike, this book is a delightful celebration of the Routemaster, using authentic material covering its exterior and interior design, technical aspects and operation, and illustrated with diagrams and line drawings throughout. As the 'new' Routemaster takes to the road it is a timely reminder of just how great the original was.
