A short film showing the final day of the running of Routemaster buses on the 159 route, shot between Kennington and Trafalgar Square, via Westminster Bridge and Whitehall. A sad day.
This was the last day of 'proper' Routemasters running - there remain two 'heritage' routes (9 and 15) aimed at tourists, running from Tower Hill to the Royal Albert Hall.

Pity about the rubbish music. I'd much rather have heard RM sounds - engines, gears, the wonderful noises they made when idling and so on.

Problem with this old bus is hat it's slow, guzzles gas and is not easily accesible for disabled people, elderly people and parents with babies and small children. It's also quite dangerous because of the hop-on-hop-off door. It IS iconic and we do miss it and these buses are hired out for parties, weddings, other countries have bought them for tours etc but for a modern city they're just not practical.

ereSy is a dipstick, they got you there quicker, because they had a conductor, and you didn,t have to wait at bus stops so long.

@GTA4Life666 Obviously just a troll (check the name), but the reason people love the buses is that they're part of something greater - part of life - part symbol, part participant -- but reducing that all to "a piece of metal" shows you're one of that rare breed of people who simply doesn't get it and never will. Your loss. The rest of us will remain grinning kids no matter how old we get when we get a chance to ride one or see one drive by in the street.

London public transportation is an tourist attraction in it's own right.
