Double-Decker Routemaster - London Red Bus - The AEC Routemaster is a model of double-decker bus that was built by Associated Equipment Company (AEC) in 1954 and produced until 1968. A pioneering design, the traditional red Routemaster has become one of the famous features of London, with much tourist paraphernalia continuing to bear Routemaster imagery, and with examples still in existence around the world. (wikipedia.org) The bright red double decker bus has been a symbol of London for half a century, and the Routemaster is the classic type, introduced in the early 1950s and finally phased out of normal use late in 2005. Its outstanding feature was the easy-access open platform at the back, ideally suited to London's clogged streets, allowing passengers to quickly get on or off at stops or even at traffic lights or slow speeds. Earlier types of London bus such as the 1929 LT and the 1930s TD and RT had rear-access open platforms and a conductor as well as a driver, but were not unique to the capital – they were also in use other British towns and cities, and British-type double deckers were (and are still) popular in parts of the far east: India, Hong Kong, and Singapore – but the iconic bus is the London Routemaster, alongside the equally bright red British telephone box and postbox.
