Summary

[edit]
Description

Routemaster RM1941 on heritage route 15.

Double-decker buses are in common use throughout the United Kingdom, typically seating between 60 and 80 passengers and have become a symbolic image of the country in particular the use of the red double decker buses in London. They are between 9.5 and 10.9 metres in length and are useful as a means of carrying large numbers of passengers without exceeding legal limits on vehicle length.

A particularly iconic example was the Routemaster bus, which had been a staple of the public transport network in London for nearly half a century following its introduction in 1956. Because of cited difficulties accommodating disabled passengers, the last remaining examples in use finally retired in 2005, although Transport for London has established two "heritage routes", which will continue using Routemasters (Selected parts of routes 9 & 15)
