Routemaster Wedding Hire
Our London Transport Routemaster was available for hire for weddings, via Nostalgic Transport, on days when it's not working on our ; get your guests to the service on time, to the reception without getting lost and so on. Please bear in mind the 'bus is 14'6" (4m4) tall so the route must be free from overhanging branches or low trees.
Please note that with effect from November 2011 Nostalgic Transport will no longer be operating the 'bus service. The South Devon Railway are in the process of establishing a new company, South Devon Railway Road Services Ltd, to take over the running of RM1872. Until this company is trading it is with regret that we cannot hire out RM1872. As soon as we have the new operator this page will be updated. In the mean time please contact the Railway on 0843 357 1420 for further details.
Priority will be given to those who combine the hire of the 'bus with that of our Restaurant Car services.
Here are a few pictures of how the 'bus can be decorated and a happy couple. We express our thanks and best wishes to them:
