BRIGHTON REGENCY ROUTEMASTER

Travel in style on board the iconic Routemaster bus RML 2333. The Routemaster has been beautifully restored into a fine dining bus. Sit back and relax at tables for two or four while you enjoy a light breakfast and half a bottle of prosecco. Once onboard you host Cherry Bomb will guide you through the city of Brighton and Hove where you will see the Royal Pavilion, Palace Pier, Hove’s Grand Avenue, historical Regency Squares and the shopping mecca of the North Laine. She'll be hosting games and shenanigans onboard. As we head back you will see the breath-taking views of Brighton and its Marina. We head along Madeira Drive passing the beach and Volks railway before we stop at The Curzon Bar for lunch.

  • Routemasters were designed to be taken apart in 2 sections for efficient maintenance. The upper and lower seating saloons could simply be lifted off as one and separated from the chassis. Work could then take place independently. During maintenance if either section was not ready they would be swapped with another section from another RML. We understand RML 2333 had 3 body swaps with the last taking place during 1978 with B2375.
