End of the road for the Routemaster

The Telegraph marks the passing of the Routemaster bus in the UK - although it continues on a couple of "heritage" routes. Check out the pictures. Reminds me of catching the 166 to Coulsdon when I was a lad, also going further afield to the cinema in Purley. We even ventured to London on several buses because it was cheaper than by train.
