Ride
on Heritage Buses on London Bus Route 213
between Kingston and Sutton ~ 13 June 2026 !!!
All Illustrations, unless stated otherwise:
Bus Route 213 has been running between Kingston and Sutton since 1921 – that’s 105 years – serving Norbiton Station, Coombe Lane, Traps Lane, New Malden, Worcester Park, North Cheam and Cheam .
On Saturday, 13 June 2026, between 1000 hrs and 1700 hrs, the London Bus Museum will be running
Heritage Buses, dating from the 1950s to 1970s,
alongside the normal Daily Service, on Route 213.
Open-Platform Buses with Conductors will run
between Kingston and Sutton Garage. Buses serve all
Route 213 Bus Stops — no need to book, just turn up at
a Route 213 Bus Stop and put out your hand !!!
Buses being used will mostly be the iconic
Routemaster, dating from the Late-1950s and 1960s,
and their predecessor, the RT-type, which, in the 1950s,
formed the largest standardised Bus Fleet in the World, together with some special Buses.
Some Buses are from the Museum’s collection,
other Buses are provided by their owners.
And it’s all
Please Note: All these Buses pre-date the low-floor,
easy access Buses that we take for granted today,
and there are steps at the entrance and inside.
Most modern buggies cannot be carried, as they are too large to fit under the stairs; nor can wheelchairs be accommodated.
However Conductors will make every effort to help the less able and those with small children to enjoy a ride back in time.
Well-behaved dogs are welcome, but are carried
at the conductor’s discretion, and must be on a lead
and not occupy seats.
