The original double-decker Routemaster bus was an icon which has run in London for over 50 years.
The design of this bus was way ahead of its time and just right for the travelling conditions in London.
It outlived much newer buses due to its flexibility, speed and build quality, only being replaced on age and cost grounds.
They can be seen at the London Transport Museum in London.

They were a triumph of post-war British engineering, but when the final Routemaster bus, with its familiar hop-on, hop-off platform,
was withdrawn from regular service in December 2005, London lost one of its most famous symbols.
Now, a new take on the old classic has been re-introduced
to London’s streets on a permanent basis.
The Routemaster buses – 600 of which will be rolled out by 2016 – costing £1.4 million for each new bus,
(approximately US$2.4 million or 1.8 million euros per bus)
with each seat on the bus costing some £22,500 (US$37,800 or 28,200 euros per seat).
The new, quiet, greener, energy-efficient Routemaster buses, complete with 3 doors,
have been expanding across London over the last few years.
They are manufactured by Wrightbus, a family-owned company based in Ballymena, Northern Ireland.
Transport for London is spending around £212m on the new fleet and claims the modern Routemaster will sustain 220 jobs
at Wrightbus’s factory in County Antrim over the next three years.
One problem has emerged since the launch of the new buses have been launched;-
EU laws are preventing these revolutionary highly environmental buses from being exported to nations outside of the UK.

The new Routemaster bus will launch mid-of 2010 and has been designed to create an icon using green technology.
The bus features an extensive use of glass to highlight key features and produce a light and airy feel inside the bus.
A glass ’swoop’ at the rear and offside to pick out the two staircases.
An open platform at the rear, shared with the old Routemaster,
which can be closed off at quiet times and which allows the reinstatement of a hop-on hop-off service.
And a three doors and two staircases for smoother, speedier boarding and access to the upper deck.
The new Routemaster uses the latest green technology since its re-launch in 2012.
