Famed British bus to find new home in Shimonoseki
more if the story here
And here is the distinctive entrance/exit of the routemaster. They used to be marvellous for running and jumping on while moving or for slipping off at a traffic light when and where you liked. And of course you could lean out and dodge dispatch riders while hanging on to that pole.
Sadly missed from London's streets but hats off to Shimonoseki's mayor who knows style when he sees it.
The residents of Shimonoseki, Yamaguchi Prefecture, might soon be driven to thinking they are in the heart of central London.
The coastal city will take possession of a distinctive red double-decker Routemaster bus that used to travel the streets of London and is considered a design icon.
