Fall in usage and lack of step-free access on the classic front-engined doubledeckers cited as reasons for permanent withdrawal
Transport for London has retired its iconic fleet of “hop on, hop off” Routemaster buses on the number 15 route, the capital’s last running heritage service.
Citing reasons including falling ridership across the central London network and the lack of step-free access on the classic front-engined doubledeckers, TfL confirmed the service had been permanently withdrawn.
