Londoners will have the chance to ride vintage red buses for free through North London next week.
People can get a feel of the old-time double-deckers on November 5, in aid of the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
The vintage rides are an exciting way to get around, and a perfect way to be taken to Guy Fawkes events in the capital.
The nostalgic event is set to happen next Sunday in the lead-up to Remembrance Day.
These services are not part of the TfL network; they will be operated by retired Metroline conductor Trevor Muir, as part of the Royal British Legion.
Buses are expected to run through Hampstead Heath, Finsbury Park, Waterloo, Baker Street, and other London locations. Bus routes involved in the day are 24, 29, 31, 68, 74 and 139.
However, passengers have been asked to note that there will be no easy access for disabled passengers or children’s buggies due to the nature of the old-fashioned buses.
Whilst it has been assured that "no fares are charged but passengers are carried subject to the bus owners’ and crews’ discretion," there will be programmes available for purchase. They will relate the history of Chalk Farm Garage, which is home to a North London bus company people, commemorating the 30th anniversary.
For more than 70 years, major bus routes operated from Chalk Farm bus garage, in Harmood Street, Camden, but it is now long gone. Passengers should note that certain journeys are not available via every route. Journey times and routes can be checked here ahead of planned journeys which will begin around 9.30am.
All proceeds will go to the Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.
