Open Topper with Open Platform

This open top Routemaster bus is ideal for static hire in indoor exhibition centres, convention halls and outdoor Summer events.

It can be connected to a shore electrical supply. There are 44 seats in total. The height is less than a closed top bus, being 4.12 metres, allowing it to enter more indoor venues.

Exterior

Our Open Topper with Open Platform is painted bright red, as it was throughout its career as a London bus since being manufactured in 1960 (full history below).

Branding wise, large banners can be draped along the sides, to create attention-grabbing advertising space, and Personalized Signs can be fitted to the front.
