Routemaster Double-Decker Bus

The AEC Routemaster is a model of double-decker bus that was

unveiled in 1954. It was introduced in London on 8 February 1956
and withdrawn from regular service on 9 December 2005.
Production examples, at first to the 27'6" length then permitted,
were placed in service from 1959 to replace trolleybuses, this
process being completed in May 1962. Subsequent Routemasters,
the last 500 of which were 30'-long RML types, began the process of
replacing the previous generation of RT-type AEC Regent buses
(commemorated by Flanders & Swann's A Transport Of Delight) and
their similar Leyland Titan RTL and RTW counterparts. The last
Routemaster, RML 2760, was put into service in March 1968.
