WELCOME
The London Group of the South Devon Railway Association raised an appeal in 2004 to buy one of London's last Routemaster 'buses for use by the South Devon Railway on its Vintage 'bus service and successfully purchased RM1872, one of the "Ensign 32", in December 2004.
These pages are a record of the work and experience gained from owning and operating an Ex London Transport Routemaster.
Until the end of 2011 the vehicle was available for local hire via Nostalgic Transport however Mr Greet has now retired.
Steps are being taken to establish a new company, South Devon Railway Road Services Ltd, to take over running the 'bus service directly. More will be announced in due course.
We trust you find our notes of some use and that you come to the South Devon Railway for a ride.
