The Routemaster bus remained in service across the capital for over 50 years. A total of 2,876 were built in various different specifications, but the most popular is the standard RM and the RML (Routemaster ‘long’). Regularly maintained and modernised over time, these high-capacity vehicles are becoming one of the most popular means of travelling in classic style with an open rear boarding platform, fit for purpose for any event.
This classic wedding bus is available to hire in East Sussex and surrounding areas. It can seat up to 72 passengers using both lower and upper decks. To preserve the authenticity, no drinks or food are allowed to be consumned on board.
