In December 2005, London lost one its most famous symbols: the
Routemaster bus - a bus designed and made in London, by Londoners
for Londoners, which was to London what the gondola is to Venice.
In terms of postcards, books, films and cheap souvenirs, and in the
eyes of the world, the Routemaster represented the city just as
much as Big Ben. It was the last bus to be have conductors as well
as drivers, the last bus to ring familiar shouts that are at least
a century old: 'Fares please,' 'Full up inside but room on top,'
'Next stop the British Museum'! The last bus, in other words, to be
a proper bus. In this fond history, Travis Elborough tells the
story of the Routemaster's invention, rise and decline, of the
people who worked on it and of the enthusiasts who were mad about
it. The streets will never be the same again.
