Londoners bade a fond farewell to the red double-decker Routemaster that for half a century has been as symbolic of London as Big Ben. Loved by tourists and residents alike, the distinctive buses started service in 1956. But they became expensive antiques and have been gradually retired. A few will still run on two heritage routes catering to tourists.

Arthur, these old double-deckers would be good for another twenty years if they could run the obstacle course without consistent cone-crushing rollovers.
Thanks, Richard, always nice to hear from you.
