In this episode we do an engine change on our AEC Routemaster London Buses, but the replacement engine has some teething problems that cause us to make emergency roadside repairs on a busy duel carriageway.

As someone who was born and bred in London it's wonderful to see these buses restored to their former glory and kept running rather than being confined to a museum. I think the dog is beautiful

Spent a good few years as a LT Coachmaker looking after these girls. At the very least I worked on 25% of the fleet as I was involved as a part of 4 "radio teams" in installing the two way radios to the entire LT fleet. As we worked in so many garages with so many different types of bus that needed moving I was type trained to drive everything from the RT through to the Metro. So everything from oiling the windows during it's rota, to replacing the back stairs after a crash.

The excuse in our house is "Can't move, I've got the dog!"

Back in the 70's I worked on P&W 2800 radial engines, we used to wash our overalls in 140 octane petrol on Friday afternoon, they were ready to wear on Monday morning lol.

Great to watch this video of your RM engine changes. Clearly I can see now that you have kept your original AEC engines, which can only be congratulated, in a world where other operators change engines to Cummins or whatever. I served an apprenticeship at AEC Southall and although not actually involved with the production side of the vehicle manufacturing, I became a maintenance electrician, and one of the areas I served in was the Engine-Test building, and marvelled at 24 engines on dynamometer test beds roaring away together. 😇

I remember going on them with my dad, who was a lorry driver, as a kid in the late 60s early 70s from the lorry park in wood Lane down to Shepherds Bush to go to the cinema better than the modern day buses

As a relative newcomer to your channel but a London Bus Driver for many years lovely to see these old ladies getting some care and attention, shame a certain tour bus operator in London doesn't look after there's better.
