The AEC Routemaster bus must be one of the most recognisable icons in the world. Although development began in the late 1940’s it was not until 1954 that the first prototype, RM1 (SLT 56) was revealed to the public at the Commercial Motor Show at Earls Court on 24th September 1954. After extensive trials it entered public service on the 8th February 1956 from Cricklewood Garage. Three further prototypes followed, before production commenced. A total of 2,876 Routemasters were built, numerically the last Routemaster built for London Transport was RML2760 (SMK 760F) in early 1968.

So, 60 years on a celebration was held at Finsbury Park in north London over the weekend of the 12th and 13th July 2014. The independent transport videos cameras were on hand to record the event on both days. Filming starts early on Saturday morning as we record some of the Routemasters that stayed overnight as well as a good number of Routemasters arriving to form the main display. There is plenty of action for you to see as the buses take up their places. Notable arrivals are obviously the star of the show, RM1 (SLT 56), green RM2 (SLT 57) which has recently been restored to its original condition proudly displaying its original style bonnet and radiator grill, and Leyland engined RML3 (SLT 58). We also see the one and only rear engined Routemaster, FRM1 (KGY 4D). Other historic buses in attendance includes ‘B’ type B2737 (LH 8186) and DLA1 (R101 GNW) in Arriva training bus livery, being the first low floor bus in London, an Alexander ALX400 bodied DAF. Our cameras now move out of the park to Seven Sisters Road to sample two rides by Routemaster on free service X60, the first on RML2344 (CUV 344C) and the second on board RCL2226 (CUV 226C). These rides complete our filming of the first day.

Sunday morning filming commences early as the Routemasters arrive to take up their positions. Even more examples arrive together with historic buses in the shape of STL2377 (EGO 426), RT113 (FXT 288), RT2177 (KGU 106), L2 (A102 SYE) and ‘New Routemaster’ LT60 (LTZ 1060). At midday we recorded the ‘Buses from the Decades Parade’, and later in the day the ‘Parade of significant Routemasters’, all from different locations. In all, a comprehensive record of the day for you to enjoy. Our thanks must also go to the Routemaster Association for putting on this excellent event.

An archive video presentation of the iconic AEC Routemaster bus running in service with three major operators, and two independents in southern England. The video was shot by transport photographer Malcolm King in the late 1980’s and features the Routemasters running in service with Southampton CityBus, Southend Transport, United Counties, and independents, Verwood Transport and Poole Bay Services.

The programme starts in Southampton. A city well used to the AEC product as they had only just said goodbye to their last open platform AEC Regent V in 1981, having said that it would often return to traffic at peak time, and is seen on this programme making such an appearance! It was May 1987 that the Routemaster commenced operation in Southampton on a new service, the 16 between the city centre and the Millbrook Estate. The initial fleet of Routemasters consisted of 12 vehicles and were painted in Southampton red with an off white waist band and large ‘CityBus’ fleetnames as well as route ‘branding’ in yellow and black on all available advertising locations being carried on numbers 402-407. Two further services commenced in August with Routemasters, these being the 17A and 23. Numbers 408-413 carried smaller fleetnames and when a further six arrived, 414-419, they were in an overall red livery, also with small fleetnames. Malcolm filmed them in action both in and out of the city, also capturing the contemporary buses of the day from Solent Blueline, Hampshire Bus, Provincial as well as Leyland Atlanteans in the CityBus fleet.

Our second location on this programme is Southend. Having hired and borrowed Routemasters in the mid 1980’s it was not until 1988 that Southend Transport decided to purchase its own Routemasters. Services commenced in September 1988 and over their time with the undertaking they covered a number of services, namely the 1, 3A, 7, 9A, 29 and 63. A fleet of 12 were operated in a smart livery of Southend blue, off white with a blue and red stripe. Malcolm visited Southend and captured them operating from the busy town centre bus station and out to the suburbs. We also see other Southend Transport vehicles in action alongside Eastern National ones.

The final ‘large’ operator on this programme is United Counties. The first examples took to the streets of Bedford in February 1988 on service 101. They appeared in the ‘deregulation’ livery of ‘Tilling’ green with cream and orange diagonal and horizontal stripe, and were branded as ‘Routemaster’. They also appeared on the 161 route again in Bedford and the 1, 2A, 2C and 4 in Corby. Malcolm caught them in action for you to enjoy.

Our final visit is to Poole on the south coast, where we briefly see both Verwood Transport and a ‘hired in’ Routemaster with Poole Bay Services, in action.

So take your seat and enjoy this nostalgic video presentation featuring the iconic Routemaster running in service many miles away for its natural home in London!

An archive video presentation of the iconic AEC Routemaster bus running in service with three major operators in northern England. The video was shot by transport photographer Malcolm King in the late 1980’s and features the Routemasters running in service with Blackpool Transport, Burnley & Pendle and Cumberland Motor Services.

We start this programme in the seaside town of Blackpool. It was in January 1986 that Blackpool Transport evaluated a Leyland engined Routemaster, and it was from there that a small fleet of Routemasters was built up to operate services 12 and 55, and later the 14 and 22/ 22A. The livery chosen was the pre-war livery of red and white with lining out which complimented the lines of the Routemaster very well. Malcolm visited Blackpool on a number of occasions to capture them in action, running along the seafront and in St Annes to name but two locations. We also see other Routemasters attending a rally on the promenade as well as the contemporary bus fleet in action, and not forgetting the trams!

Our second Routemaster fleet is Burnley & Pendle Transport. Having evaluated Blackpool’s RM1735 (735 DYE) in February 1988, Burnley & Pendle built up an initial fleet of five Routemasters. They were branded "EastEnders" after the popular BBC television series. Each bus was given a name after a character in the series. Painted in a smart dark red and cream livery the Routemasters operated on the 19, 23 and 25 services, although initially some of them ran in their former London Buses colours. Malcolm caught up with them in both Burnley and Colne, as well as some ‘out of town’ locations, so different from the streets of London they had been used to.

The final location on this programme is Carlisle, to see the Routemasters operating with Cumberland Motor Services, which had just been taken over by Stagecoach. Routemasters commenced operations here in October 1987 when eight vehicles were obtained for the 61 service. They later ran on the 60A and 61A services. Six of the Routemasters were obtained from Kelvin Scottish, and the other two direct from London Buses. They were finished in a livery of CMS red with a vertical and diagonal caramel stripe. Malcolm filmed the buses at various locations, from the housing estates to the city centre during the day and early evening.

So take your seat and enjoy this nostalgic video presentation featuring the iconic Routemaster running in service many miles away for its natural home in London

The Bristol VR on home ground may no longer mean a City Line example battling for supremacy on congested city streets. Instead the VR can be found feeling the wind rushing through its vents as it served the rural communities in northern Somerset.

Between the fields and hedgerows, past dry stone walls and picturesque cottages, along narrow lanes and up steep Mendip hills, VRs that run on once-a-week services 683 and 791 by Abus of Bristol take them through this lush scenery to Wells and Weston-super-Mare. Names like Blagdon, Priddy, West Harptree and Temple Cloud are among the points served. Additionally the VRs tackle the narrow streets in the former mining communities of Radstock and Paulton.

Both the 683 and 791 have the same regular driver, well know Bristol fan Allan Macfarlane, who is keen to share this marvellous countryside with yout, through this video.

Not to overlook the urban days of the VR, we include some of Alan's footage taken not that long ago within Bristol, Bath and Weston, of City Line and Badgerline buses together with some of the many small operators who chose the VR, not just for schools work, but on competing services.

Finally, a photo gallery of Bristol Omnibus VRs taken during their heyday in the 1970s & 1980s.

Wednesday 10th May, 2000 was the first day of operation of Tramlink carrying the general public. Farepaying passengers were carried from the following day on the first section - route 3 from Addington to Croydon.

This video was shot during the first month of opening of the whole network, and features a number of 'first' public duties for the trams. We join the tram at Sandilands on 10th May, which was for invited guests, following behind the two official trams that carried various officials and local dignitaries. They had cut the tape a little earlier at Addington. We follow route 3 into and around Croydon and then over the hills to Addington.

Extensive footage shows various trams around Croydon on this first day of service. We also witness the bus operations in Croydon, of which some of the routes will eventually be replaced by the trams.

There are scenes of the other opening ceremony for route 2 at Beckenham Junction on Tuesday 23rd May and a week later the official's tram travelling through Merton Park on the first day of service on the Wimbledon route - 1. We continue with tram activity across the system at various locations, with plenty of action between Reeves Corner and Sandilands where there is street running. Again, a further study of the bus operations mainly, in East Croydon, where we see trams and buses running together.

Also featured are some of the buses that operate the feeder routes, T31, T32 and T33, into Addington Village interchange.

A fascinating programme for any one interested in the modern transport scene and indeed those who can recall the original trams that stopped running in 1952!
