As has become a tradition since the Routemaster 40 event held at the Royal Victoria Docks in 1994, the weekend of July 20/21st 2024 saw the Routemaster Association hold an event to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Routemaster’s first public appearance.
This year saw a change of venue from the previous events, with a move from Finsbury Park to Chiswick Business Park, which is a major part of Routemaster history as it was built on the site of the famous London Transport Chiswick Works.
The free-to-enter event was held over a two-day weekend and was well attended by both public and vehicles alike. Unfortunately, due to previous commitments, we could only attend on Sunday and you can see the images we captured in the gallery below.
