The first series of buses had a length of 8.4 meters (27 feet and six inches), later "Rutmastery" were longer-9 meters (30 feet).
The bus has won enormous popularity among Londoners and visitors to the British capital. The reason for this was the design feature of an open platform at the rear of the bus, which was in and out in a bus. The bus had no doors. An open platform allows fast going out and enter the bus, not only at bus stops, but also when standing at the crossroads or in a traffic jam. Some even believe that this ability to freely enter and go meet the English spirit of freedom.
Cancellation of "Rutmasterov" was started in the year 1982, however in 1992, the remaining buses were repaired, new engines were installed to meet environmental standards.
