So the owners would rather it stays in a field and rot than selling it to you? But are happy for you to fix it for free? And store it for them for free? I can see you genuinely care about the history behind the bus which is why you are doing what you are doing but the owners seem to be taking you for a ride which is sad 😔 if they cared at all for the bus they would sell it to you at a heavy discount for the work you have already put into it
Hello from Calgary Alberta Canada. I agree with the comment. Why are you doing this all for free. What do you get out of it. The owner gets a refurbished bus. Is this what you do for a living.
From someone who lives in the area, im so glad that the Cross in Hand Routemaster is finally in safe hands after all those decades in the open on that windy ridge. A testament to just how solidly made those big boys are
I had to struggle to find my composure and words when I found this picture/video...!! And at the same time my heart bled when I saw this beautiful old British lady in such a neglected state...!! That's not acceptable... - she must be saved and preserved for posterity... - absolutely...!! You have an incredibly good mechanic and I was jumping for joy when you got the engine running again...!! I love England/Great Britain so much and would love to help there, that would make me so proud...!! Simply stunningly beautiful...!!! Warmest regards, Vivian Hyde 😀❤❤
Hopefully in the near distant future, RM843 will return to its former glory as a bright red bus again and just like vintage and classic cars, all vintage buses deserves restoration and preservation as well, best wishes Pete.
@@PeteAndHisBus The poor little bus that COULD!! You guys are geniuses at what you do! If not for people like you these antiques would wind up in a shredder!😔💀🥺
I think we're all happy it's safe under your roof now, Pete. She's like the dog or cat that's been waiting to be adopted from the pet shelter for months or even years...all in the name of finding a good steward and a caring home.
I was SO very chuffed to see the old Gal start up, then to move for the first time in years. Then gutted when the glass was smashed but again delighted to see her safe and sound along with her stablemates. Very well done and all the best with her from an ex RM owner.
This program is absolutely riveting and the bus being saved is an icon having driven rms i cant wait for next the next episode well done you deserve a medal
I like when people care about old cars busses trucks etc etc and restore them and keep them in shape...for someone who do not like new cars and grow up whit cars from the 70s 80 etc i miss those cars so thank you for caring about the past and the oldies,,,:)...Greatings from sweden...
Thank you International Rescue. Another Icon saved from the vandals and hope to see it being lovingly restored over time and at a running day somewhere.
@@darrenpearson5312 he must at sometime been the driver when I took the 36 from Camberwell to New Cross and back again after school 1973 - 1978. Also from the school playing fields at Downham Way. I later drove the 11 and 19 for London General out of Victoria.
Wonderful job Pete. My father was a LT bus driver during the Second World War until he joined up and drove amo trucks. On returning after the war he returned to the buses out of Sidcup Garage which was actually in Footscray. I remember they had conductorsto issue tickets. Many many thanks for bringing these memories back to an 86 year old.
Thanks for the recap and the views of the hubodometer. It looks so good on that wheel hub. Poor old thing must feel like it's got a sudden turn of luxury living having a roof over it's head for the first time in 30 years. Great achievement so far.
Fantastic recovery of a beautiful British icon Pete, I drove RM’s out of Arbroath “Strathtay Scottish” depot in 1985.. they still had LT badges above the grill… being an Englishman living in Scotland I felt right at home when in the cab knowing they were ex LT buses… they drove beautifully and my run was Montrose to Ninewells hospital in Dundee… I loved every minute 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🇬🇧
Great work Pete and your crew. I drove past the field back in April on the way home from the Kent & East Sussex railway and noticed then that not a lot appeared to have happened so hopefully it has a bright future.
Excellent recovery. I think those routemasters must have been in a lot of peoples past, me included. Something about them that makes them appealing. Well done.
Fantastic news Pete as a bus engineer for London transport for 53 years still working part-time and apprenticeship on those buses it’s great to see you another one rescued Gary
We live in a world of hate and vandalism. I am so glad you managed to get the bus to your safe barn before any more damage was done. I hope after all the restoration is done there will be a safe place to keep it, even fully restored things are smashed up by those who have no thought for peoples time effort and expense.
I really enjoyed this video. As a "geezer from the smoke", I remember with joy as a boy who used to travel on the route 123 from Ilford to Manor House on Saturdays to see my gran. Always got the upper deck front seats. Good old RM's.
I need to go back and watch episode 36, 39 and 42. I've gone past that bus and those old Jaguars in that field so many times!! It's a mini landmark from when I was a child going that way to see relatives.
Congratulations Pete and all of your friends & colleagues for getting her safe. Thank you so much for sharing this news and keeping us grateful followers up to date.👍🦉
First time watching your videos, GREAT to save National treasures, noticing the 38 bus, back in the 1980s to 90s my late MOther was a Bus Conductor[Clippy] on 6, 9, 10,11, 22, 30, 38, sometimes 73 and 253, 38 bus from Clapton bus garage in East London, the last bus she worked on as a conductor, great memories and contents, keep up the good work.
Had the pleasure of driving these great buses in the late 80's early nineties when we got a load of them in Scotland best buses i have ever driven great video glad the bus is now safe keep up the great work
Absolutely brilliant, a nice success indeed, well done to you and all that have been involved to get 843 in your barn, safe and sound. Roll on the next upload 👍💪
At the age of 21 yrs I passed my PSv bus license in a PD2 double decker and loved driving it for what was then Colchester borough transport . That was in 1977 , I’ve just found your channel and will now follow you with great excitement
Hello Pete, thank you for another video. Really enjoyed watching. Good to watch the recap on the bus that you worked on and pleased that it has got a safe place to live now instead of being in the field. I’ll look forward watching all the work that gets carried out on it in the future.
I dont usually comment on vids but this is a must. Having driven past this bus weekly I noticed it had moved to the other side and was blown away. A huge congrats for getting it out. So happy!❤
So good to see this bus getting rescued. myself and my twin brother both used to drive RMs in the 80s. At the time i would not have believed how nostalgic the feelings would become, just being glad to climb down at the end of a shift. I would love to get behind the wheel again one day. good luck with the project .
When I seen the windows my heart sank. When I seen the clearing out the owners did it came back up a bit. Then I subscribed. I don't know what's going on or what we're doing but I'm in!
I like your commitment and doggedness in chasing down that bus. Great work Pete, from Canada! We Used to have a bunch of old double deckers here but time took them away. Tourist use , replaced by newer buses. Cheers, keep up the saving the old ones!
My father was a driver in the Royal Engineers during WW2 from 1939 onwards. In the early 60s I remember going with him to the Chiswick bus dept for him to take his Public Vehicle test which he passed. He was then based at Mortlake garage and later used to drive RMs on the 96 bus route to Dartford and I remember seeing him parked up outside the Museum in Market street. England today seems like another world now, far removed from the country he and his comrades thought they had saved. 😢
@@patrickmccarthy5462 The English population is rapidly being replaced and our new Labour Government is behaving more like the German dictatorship than my father and his generation defeated.
Just a bit tight getting in there that driveway lol! Who knew a quadbike could be used for towing buses haha! Will look forward to its progress! Well done Pete, superb job matey!
It's such a refreshing change to see one of thease field/barn finds to finally get saved instead of being left to rot and vandalised. That could have been much worse
You left us all in suspense where this bus was going to end up. 😄Nothing but ball breaking videos involving this bus. Pleased it all worked out as you negotiated it to be thus far.
i just really can not understand why people wont either give away or sell for cheap to people who is willing to restore and care for the vehicle instead of just leaving it out there to rot away. they claim they will do it, they will restore it, but days turn into weeks, weeks into months, then 1-2 decades later, the vehicle remains in the same spot, untouched since the day it was left there years prior, everyone knows the day they get around to work on it wont ever come, yet they refuse to hand it over to someone who everyone knows will actually work on it and care for it. nice to see the bus is finally being taken care of after all the years it has been left to rot. and vandals really piss me off as well, society is way to lenient on them.
Kind of remembers me of when once thought to myself: "Uh, it won't hurt if I just left the car unlocked for a minute in front of my own house, I'll be back in no time..." And then a tramp sat in it smoking and burning the carpet.
I reckon if you live long enough you will rescue every Routemaster ever made or at least made certain that every one made contributed at least one part to the ones which remain….and so…they all do live!
As a new Subscriber here, like to say The Automotive culture and historical sentiment is the same everywhere we share it here, It's almost as the poor Bus is asking to be rebuilt and made roadworthy again. Impressive Tow truck and recovery just love the clack of an old Diesel at idle. They just sound like they are ready for hard work, Love it. Cheers from Toledo Ohio.
Great stuff enjoyed every minute . I have restored 3 prewar cars in the past, still at it at 82 yrs old. Can't wait for the next episode, good on you keeping the past alive.

The recovery truck is quite a beast in itself, and the driver is a star when it comes to navigating and maneuvering!
Yeah, they were total pros!
@@PeteAndHisBusHow high was the bus once pulled by the recovery truck ? Around 4m50 ?
@PeteAndHisBus I feel so mad kids smashed the windows are the windows rare and or expensive to replace ?
So the owners would rather it stays in a field and rot than selling it to you? But are happy for you to fix it for free? And store it for them for free?

Hello from Calgary Alberta Canada.
I agree with the comment. Why are you doing this all for free. What do you get out of it. The owner gets a refurbished bus. Is this what you do for a living.
People on farms had the same issue with a car wont sell it wont repair wont look after it
@@PeteAndHisBus just found this video, so do you now own the bus?

They are inherently extremely resilient. There’s a big thud though as the rear brakes in-seize. That’s the only place they get very stuck. 👍
