No need to book, just put your hand out at any route 54 bus stop and a heritage bus will stop to pick you up!  Hold very tight please! 

Travel is free but you may even get an old-type ticket issued by the conductor!  Remember those?

Buses used will be mostly the iconic RT-type, which in the 1950s formed the largest standardised bus fleet in the world, plus their successor the famous Routemaster. There will also be a selection of more modern buses of types used on route 54 over the years. 

Please note that all these buses pre-date the low-floor, easy access buses that we take for granted today and there are steps at the entrance and inside. 

Most modern buggies cannot be carried as they are too large;  nor can wheelchairs be accommodated. However our crews will make every effort to help the less able and those with small children enjoy a ride back in time.  

Well-behaved dogs are welcome but are carried at the discretion of the conductor provided they are on a lead and do not occupy seats.
