Do you want to stop TFL from scrapping yet another Routemaster bus route, do
you want to save London`s heritage?


I think you're directing your ire at the wrong place; AIUI it's the EU
which is demanding the removal of Routemaster buses. TfL is just
complying with new European regulations about open buses.

The EU have made a lot of stupid demands but that's not one of them.
Removal of Routemasters is a TfL decision.

What I want to know is what's happening after they're withdrawn. Are TfL
selling them to people who could sell them back to TfL next time there's
a policy backflip?
