bus modellers,be sad.

Bad news on the BBC over the weekend. My City of London has finally decided to retire the World famous 'Routemaster' bus I think everybody on the planet associates these buses with Britain and london in particular. The PC crowd say the open boarding platform is unsafe and the bus has to go. Of course they were meant to retire back in the 70's but popular opinion kept them going by stripping parts from others to keep the smaller and smaller fleet going.
Well,this week is the last of them.2 or 3 will be kept for tourist route rides but the majority are going. I think every tourist to london buys at least a diecast routemaster and a black cab I suppose they will continue to live in the souvenir shops at least. I used to catch the 38 everyday from Hackney to Holborn.Upstairs with a good book
