Routemaster

This site wouldn't be complete without some reference to the Routemaster, especially as not only is it considered by many as icon of London but also as my father was responsible for the detailed design of the production bodywork. So here are some pages dedicated to it.

These pages are not intended to be a thorough explanation of the Routemaster, there are other sites that most eruditely cover the subject, but due to the variety of interest in the Routemaster from its technical through its iconic attributes you will hopefully find something of interest here.
