25、eally dangerous? The back of the bus was an open platform with no doors. Perhaps this wasnt very safe but Londoners like to do their own thing.

26、rs have a hard time. The first Routemasters were on our roads in 1954. The last official Routemaster journey was on Route Number 9, on 15th February 2006.
