  • More about London's Low-floor Buses in Exile


Since the mid-1940s, London has resold its buses after they were no longer suitable for service in the capital. The AEC Routemaster was the most noticeable cascade of former London Buses during the 1980s, and changes to emission standards led to the withdrawal of further low-floor buses from the capital, benefiting independent operators around the country.

Since the mid-1940s, London has been reselling its buses after they have outlived their usefulness in the capital. Both large and small bus and coach operators have eagerly purchased these retired vehicles, utilizing them for extended service. One of the most notable instances of former London Buses being repurposed was during the 1980s, when provincial operators across the country acquired vast fleets of AEC Routemasters. The early 2000s saw a significant investment in new buses in London, leading to the displacement of many of the early low-floor buses to provincial operators. The implementation of emission standards further contributed to the withdrawal of additional low-floor buses from the capital, ultimately benefiting independent operators nationwide. London Low-Floor Buses in Exile presents a captivating exploration of the diverse liveries and operators of former London low-floor buses throughout the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland between 2000 and 2021.
