Default Route 38 Routemaster last day

I was fortunate to have this week off from work which meant that I
got into London on the Thursday to sample them on the last 'normal'
day and even then, the photographers were out in force!

I must say there was a very courteous and gentlemanly atmosphere at
the head of the 38 lane at Victoria on the Thursday between us
various photographers who were there.

My regular journey from Vic to Museum Street was one of the few
highlights of London, standing on the rear platform from the New
Oxford Street traffic lights around the curve into the Museum Street
stop.

I also made it up on the Friday to witness the amazing festivities.

Great photos! I saw now fewer than 6 Routemasters on the 38 on my bike
rides between King's Cross and Westminster and back on Thursday but had
to take the tube on Friday so missed the last day entirely.

BTW, Ex London Transport RT LLU670 and KYY529 have no fleet numbers
given. They should be RT3871 and RT1702 according to an old ABC of mine.
