by Passengers on a Bussstraße Londoner are invited to withdraw into the past this weekend with a ride with a double-deck decking bus.
The regular guests on Route 418 between Kingston and Bookham have the opportunity to drive this Sunday, June 8, with a kind approval of the London Bus Museum.
Vintage buses from the 1950s to 1970s are held in Kingston, Surbiton Hill, the city center of Epsom, Ashtead and Leatherhead.
You can only drive on the street for a day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Passengers can even pick up a ticket as a souvenir.
It is part of the initiative of the Heritage Day of the Museum, in which a selection of preserved London buses returns to the street. These retro vehicles work alongside the regular daily bus service and bring good memories back for those who remember to have driven on the older buses.
A similar event took place in March when the passengers on Route 19 – from Finsbury Park to the Battersea Bridge – buses drove from the 1930s.
The museum said that the buses used will be “mainly the legendary RT type, which formed the largest standardized bus fleet in the world in the 1950s” and its successor, the famous Routemaster.
A spokesman for the London Bus Museum said: “Please note that all these buses are the low, simple access buses that we take for granted today, and are available at the entrance and inside.
“Most modern buggies cannot be worn because they are too big to fit under the stairs, still colleons can be accommodated. However, our crews are doing all efforts to help the less capable and people with young children have a time to travel.
“Well -raised dogs are welcome, but are worn at the discretion of the head and have to be in the lead and do not occupy seats.”
