I'd always thought that when "the Day" comes, when Routemasters are
finally withdrawn from "regular" service, that some would continue ad
infinitum, a la San Francisco cable cars or Melbourne W class trams on
routes most frequented by tourists/visitors. I had always, somehow, in
my own mid, envisaged these as the 9, 11 and 15, too.

Just my two penn'orth.......

On BBC London this week Sir Kenneth confirmed the intention is to keep
some Routemasters in service on tourist routes.

And having read the 40 page transcript of the radio phone in / interview
it was interesting to see that it would be a special route, no one knows
where it will run or how many buses it will need. However it is being
worked on !!
