A friend of mine has just bought a Routemaster and I'll forward this
enquiry to
him, but the licence / insurance problem is likely to prevent this from
happening. A pity really, since that would be an ideal way of a bus
enthusiast
recouping some of the outlay and maintenance costs.

There is a lot more to it than that. He needs an Operator's licence and a
PSV Licence, neither of which come cheaply. There is a lot of information on
the VOSA website http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/
