Default No3 London Bus to Marble Arch gone missing .........

Last seen up at Mount Tambourine ...



Don't ask, I REALLY haven't a clue. I was (as ya do!) doing a little sight seeing and came across this.

Worthy of a picture I thought ...

Did make me wonder how much they must've paid to ship it over, not sure it would fit in a 20' container!

London expat with too much money maybe ?!? .... I should've knocked and asked really.

50 odd years ago they were as common as they are in the UK as they were mostly built here. They were pensioned off about 30+ years ago, around the same time as trams in Brisbane left service. Now used as mobile homes, promontional/advertising at major motorsport events, pub-crawl tours etc. Can still remember riding on on as a kid.

There are a couple in Bisvegas now - a 'comapny I know' has shipped a couple of old Routemasters out here. Looks like someone is getting ready to set up open top bus tours

Oh yeah, as someone else said they're used for all kinds of reasons, to advertise or whatever, pub crawls and allsorts, but this one is sitting in the middle of someones garden ...
