London Transport Buses 1986-Routemasters at Victoria & Pimlico

It's September 1986 and i'm out chasing Routemasters on route 24, as this was due for OPO conversion. We see RM & RML's on routes 2B, 11, 24, 38 & 52 plus an RMC Driver Trainer, at Victoria, Pimlico Grosvenor Gardens and Lupus Street. If you liked the video please subscribe to my channel, there are lots more transport & quirky vids to upload!

You don't argue with a Routemaster. Thanks for posting.

another great vid! I was fortunate to travel on the 24 before it converted to OPO from Hampstead Heath to Trafalgar Square.

Thanks again for these. Lovely to see the bus I trained on in 1987 (RM 1916), leaving Victoria 56 seconds in, on my old route - 52's. Made my day!!

I do aim to please!.... lol I'm glad you found some happy memories in my old films, quite a lot of viewers do, one who now lives in Bangkok loves watching arears he grew up in back the 1980s.....

It's been nearly four decades and not much has changed visually in Pimlico haha. A bit like stepping into a time capsule. Victoria is the polar opposite

7:08 Datsun 280c sedan headed your way. A luxury saloon you don't see anymore.
7:45 Fiat exhaust rasp. Haven't heard that in a long time.

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

There may be a bit more left from the 80s, i will have to check....

[@sarahwinfield3989]

Were Routemaster drivers trained at Silverstone?

[@SoiBuakhaoRoutemasterbus]

No, Chiswick Works Driver Training School, with its skid Pan......

I was only joking!
