Routemaster Travel South


Routemaster Travel South is an independently owned company based in Medway, Kent with classic 1960's London Routemaster buses available for hire. We have restored our buses to a high standard of quality, comfort and originality thus allowing us to make your special occasion a memorable one. Our buses can be hired for weddings, corporate use and other such excursions. We can also supply a conductor, complete with ticket machine, if required. We do regret however, that owing to the age and design of these vehicles we are unable to provide easy access to wheelchair users. All of our vehicles carry a no smoking and no alcohol policy. However, on some occasions, champagne may be served to the guests, after the wedding service, on the journey between the church and the reception (For safety reasons, only plastic glasses may be used and this is only with prior permission from the proprietor).
If you would like to obtain further information on the services we provide or wish to place a booking for one or more of our vehicles, please contact: Ted Price on 0845 157 3638 or 07985 474 622.

Routemaster Travel South was founded in 2006. Our Managing Director, Mr Ted Price, established this company to provide a unique transport service for your special day. To this aim, we use our experience to cater for all your needs.

We currently have two vintage London buses. A Routemaster RML898 and a Routemaster RM357. Our RML 898 is also know as The Ambassador for Great Britain as it made its way to the United states of America in 1962. Both these buses have been loving restored to their original state and are capable of carrying up to 72 of your guests (maximum of 136 with the use of both buses).

We cater for many events such as weddings, corporate events, banquets, film use and birthdays. If you wish to inspect our buses, we often take them to local wedding shows within the Kent area.
