On 20th July 2024, the 70th birthday of the Routemaster bus was celebrated with a large gathering of the type at Chiswick Business Park. This venue was chosen as it was built on the site of the former Chiswick Bus Works, which could be considered to be where the Routemaster was born (although they were of course not built there). The event brought a lot of photographers to the Acton area, and several sent in photos of service vehicles that they encountered. Phil found former 6238F parked on Bollo Lane. As regular visitors to LTSV will be aware, this van is now in private use but perhaps by someone who works at Acton Works, as it can often be found parked nearby. A few minor alterations since its time in the central fleet are apparent, with more on the nearside. |
