The last No.38 bus runs tonight.

The No.38 bus finishes tonight. As of tomorrow, all routemaster buses will be replaced with new bendy ones. After the No.38, there is only one other routemaster route in operation - the No.159. However it ends in a few weeks too - on 9th December.

I was alerted to this news via an email from Jonathan Wolfe;

I thought you might be interested in a song mourning the demise the number 38 bus (it's the last weekend of this routemaster!). I wrote it a while back and after getting the news of the demise from Transport for London a couple of days ago thought I had to post it up on my website at www.jonathanwolfe.co.uk

The song is wonderful. Have a listen.

I also found this bus happening at The Old Red Lion on Sunday night. They are commemorating the No.38 with poetry and music.

Come along on Sunday 30th of October to celebrate the last day of the No. 38 Routemaster Bus, which has trundles pass this pub since anyone can remember!! Free Admission - Starts in the bar @ 8.30

I'm off now. I have to catch a bus, or two.

You are welcome to read through my blog and website for info on tickets and how the bus is used. Or else I suggest you look up the Transport for London website or even contacting someone there.
