There was so much to see at Duxford this year that to try and cover it all in one ‘Blog’ would not do justice to anything. I shall return as time and space allow me to in further ‘Blogs’ with other aspects that on the day caught my eye.
The Routemaster is 60 years old this year and to celebrate the event it was intended to have 60 examples present to celebrate the occasion. Just how many turned up, I am not sure but here are a few that drew my attention.
VLT 7 RM 7
VLT40 RM 40
VLT 44 RM 44
VLT 158 RM158
VLT 254 RM 254

VLT 291 RM 291
100 BXL RM 1000
138 CLT RM 1138
254 CLT RF 1254
461 CLT RMC 1461
699 DYE RM 1699
OWJ 112 (Ex 822 DYE) RM 1822
ALM 33B RM 2033
CUV 208C RM 2208
CUV 233C RCL 2233
CUV 272C RML 2272
CUV 334C RML 2334
JJD 368D RM 2368
JJD 412D RML 2412
NML 616E RML 2616
SMK 660F RML 2660
Finally, for all those of you who are by now sick of looking at ‘Old’ Routemasters, I will finish by giving you a ‘New’ Routemaster.
Love them or loath them, they are going to be around a for long time and I suspect that they will finish up being as iconic as the ‘Old’ RM has become.
Wether they last for 60 years or not, only time will tell.....!
