What was the trailer for, luggage?

 

I believe so, apparently they had a nasty habit of coming un hitched at 70Mph and hurtling down the motorway while the bus took the slip road off the motorway  :mrgreen: the RMAs had bigger engines (11.3L AEC AV690 169Hp) with high speed diffs to allow for 70Mph motorway operation :)

70mph in a Routemaster... the actual flight was the harmless part of a journey then.

 

when I was younger and before I had fucked up my back I used to ride on the heritage Routemasters all day long and then go back to Bow/west ham garage on them :) (I even had my own HiVis I would carry around in a bag)

 

part of the Garage trip involved some dual carriage way/motorway which was fun to experience especially sat right next to the platform, i would not want to fall off at those speeds :) (the extra fun part was when they went into a tunnel at speed combined with the patchy high pressure sodium lighting in the tunnel made for a fun experience)
