EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this charming photograph capturing a moment of relaxation and camaraderie on a Routemaster bus in the late 1950s. The image features a young girl in a vibrant red polka dot dress, engrossed in a magazine as she sits on the back seat of the lower deck. The warm and inviting atmosphere of the bus is further emphasized by the friendly and watchful presence of the bus conductress, who sits nearby with a smile on her face. During this era, bus conductresses played a crucial role in ensuring a smooth and safe journey for passengers. They were responsible for collecting fares, issuing tickets, and providing assistance to passengers, making the bus a friendly and welcoming mode of transportation. The conductress in this photograph exudes a sense of approachability and kindness, adding to the overall sense of customer service and hospitality. The Routemaster bus, a British icon, was a staple of public transport in the UK from the 1950s through to the 1990s. With its distinctive design and double-decker layout, it became a symbol of London's transport network and a beloved part of the city's history. This photograph offers a glimpse into a bygone era, showcasing the simple pleasures of travel and the importance of friendly customer service.
