[LDN] Hertiage bus: Routemaster

Routemaster, another target in my London trip
They can now only be found in 2 routes: 9 and 15
I tried them in both of the routes:)
The heavy vibration when the bus stopping gives me the feeling of hot dog in HK:D
However, it just likes a Dennis Dart when it is running(refurbished with Alison engine same as Dart?)


Here are the photos:handshake

1) Route 9
In silver colour near Royal Albert Hall

Partially correct as Alison does not manufature engine, this batch of Routemasters is powered by Cummins B-Series.Plus the Alison gearbox, this is the identical driveline of a Dennis Dart, and hence what you felt.The vibration when idling is a common problem when installing the electronic gearbox on a Routemaster. Nevertheless, do enjoy the suspension system, this is still a design of 50+ years ago.

And, so lucky were you to capture all of the special liveried Heritage Routemasters.Don't overlook the RM652 on 15H that she is having the solid LT roundel.:kiss:

This is the bar-in-cicle LT logo using in 70s-80s in the place of London Transport fleet name, usually in white.You may check your photos again, only RM652 carries this; the rest are with underlined London Transport (plus the respective operators First or East
London).:victory:
