    About Us:
    Website: www.routemaster4hire.co.uk
    Based in Wrexham, North Wales and Serving Cheshire, the North West, North Wales and North Shropshire we are an independent family run business; we are proud to have the privilege of owning one of London’s most recognisable sights - the iconic London Routemaster Double Decker Bus!
    Our beautifully restored red London double-decker buses are available for Weddings and Special Events, they add some nostalgic novelty and a touch of class to any occasion.

    All our buses are the iconic Routemaster London Double-Decker bus; each vehicle has been beautifully restored back to the original 1960's condition. With immaculate paint and bodywork, they are real head-turners. Inside they are equally pleasing with comfortable re-upholstered seats and authentic 1960s colour scheme; the interior paintwork is complemented by varnished wooden floors and tungsten lighting which create a warm homely glow inside the bus.

    I've loved the Routemasters since Dad took us to London in 1978. They are the best buses ever built. ❤❤❤

    We used to have double deck, open top buses in New York City, back in

    One more comment, that scenery is absolutely amazing. Stunning even! If I was there on that bus, I would be in seventh heaven!

    Anything of this nature is right up my street! What better way to explore the scenery, than on the top deck of an open top bus!

    I love the sound of that engine. It's iconic. I also love the distinctive upholstery fabrics. What lovely buses they are! It must be a real handfull to drive those large buses on the narrow Welsh roads. I don't know how you got through some of those gaps between parked cars. Llangollen has certainly changed a lot since I was there 45 years ago.

    I remember these were running on the 53 route fully laden getting up Blackheath Hill. RMs are the best of British, grew up with them, love them and miss them. The throaty roar of the AEC or Leylands were so much a part of the London scene with RTs and RFs of course.

    Great memories . My parents had a caravan in those parts , and I've spent many a weekend in the late seventies /early eighties driving around those roads . Been in Oz for 35 years , so this was wonderful to follow . The whole Routemaster series is marvellous . Well done lads !

    I remember a school trip to the "eisteddfod" at Llangollen, we had a clapped out 41 seat Duple bodied Bedford coach which by the time we reached the top of the Horseshoe was literally gasping for breath!! Unlike this lovely vehicle! 20 mph in third gear! Marvellous!

    I love that engine sound, brought back so many memories. When I lived in London I frequently travelled on Routemasters. The only other bus with a really iconic engine noise is the LT RTW's - brilliant.

    Hi Dave, what a small world it is, I was heading down to Llangollen from the horse show pass on 1st September 2019 and was delighted to see an open top Routemaster heading up the hill in the opposite direction. Such a joyful site which I made sure I included the footage in the Moto log video I made of the ride. Roll the clock on 3 years, and whilst browsing my way through UA-cam I happen upon your channel and start watching my way through your videos with the penny suddenly dropping that it was your bus I had passed that day😁 I am absolutely blown away by your videos and the superb editing quality and story telling you do around the restorations. Your attention to detail and incredible skills set you and the guys display in restoring these beautiful machines is exceptional, an absolute pleasure to behold! Thank you for doing what you do and long may the restorations and videos continue. Cheers, Dave 👍🏻

    The familiar surroundings of an RM cab. A nice place to be on a nice day. AEC engine sounding nice, you can pick up the slightly gruffer note of the 690.

    That engine was purring climbing that hill. It sounded wonderful and the countryside was beautiful.

    Brilliant....clearly driven by someone who has a love for the vehicle and the skill to do it properly !! ( as a retired instructor on RML's and other LT vehicles I can say that ;-). But when did they get that nicely upholstered driver seat... I only remember the sweat making leather cloth ones !!

    Great video and what a great bus. Horse Shoe pass, no problem. I've seen modern HGVs struggle up here. Brilliant mate. I love the soundtrack of the engine. Will definitely do this tour in 2021.👍
