About Pete And His Bus: Pete is a normal (ish) guy who has a big passion for old vehicles and particularly old buses. He is NOT a trained mechanic nor is he a professional restorer. He enjoys converting vehicles but he can not promise that what he is doing is going to work on your vehicle. Nor can he promise that you won’t harm yourself if you were you to attempt the things he does. He recommends that you are safe and responsible with machinery and equipment even if you’ve seen him messing about with it. A workshop and it’s content can be a dangerous place. If you are in doubt about your own vehicle, contact a professional for advice. - Zábava
It was nice to see R M L 2704 again. My wife and I worked on it whilst it was allocated at Uxbridge Garage, believe from new ,operating route 207 ,Uxbridge of Shepherd Bush, with running time of 1hr7mins. When it as delivered the upholstery moquette was grey and blue ,have a photo some ,also R M L 2710 had the same interior design also allocated to Uxbridge when new.
Very cool, great memories no doubt!
Lord Barrington is a hero 🤩 Well done guys 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I agree! Thanks for watching
Dont forget the other hero too, Pete!
The bus whisperers are in the house, well the yard.
hahaha! Thanks for watching
Another great save of an RML for future use.
Thanks for watching!
Well done guy’s I love the passion to save these busses. Heart breaking to see them just sit and rot. Grand effort you both made such a pleasing video thank you.
thank you!
Wow - superb episode. Great to see old Hamish McRoutemaster AKA RML2704 moving from the ancestral seat. Bonus that this all took place somewhere near my home...
Where was the tea and biscuits!? ;) Thanks for watching!
@@PeteAndHisBus We moved here from Essex last year. You were about 30 miles from us (by rough recognition of identifiable landmarks and businesses.) If I'd known you were coming I'd have happily brought you refreshments - and as a fellow enthusiast, I'm not averse to also getting out the spanners!
Love the Hudson terraplane……😍😍😍
Good innit
Hallelujah, thanks Pete. Great start to the weekend, cheers 🤩👍
Thanks for watching!
Lord Barrington deserves to be a proper Lord. Is there nothing that man can’t get going 👍
true that
Great effort guys, I was cheering the old girl on to haul herself out of her rather soggy bed. I loved driving them in Central London (137’s Streatham Hill to Oxford Circus) in the 6 months prior to their decommissioning. They offered them to the drivers for £2,500. Shame I didn’t have the space to store one at the time 😢 Brilliant to see another one saved ❤
Thanks for watching!
Really?? What an opportunity...if you had the space and a purpose.
I can remember them trying to sell them back in 89, but unfortunately I live in Australia and still love the routemaster
@@stever1053 At least two have made it here. There really should be more.
A few ex London Titans are here, but modified a lot (heavily in one case).
One ex London Metrobus -M450 is in Tasmania after spending a few years in NSW.
Oh yeah ex London Leyland National ex LS13 at least was in Sydney.
Lived in Drewstead Road Streatham Hill in the 70's and 80's. Used to catch the 137 to crescent lane on the kings avenue from the leigham court stop right at the Streatham high road intersection.
This made me admire the Cummins transplant. It awakened really well and has a very AEC like tickover.
It's a great motor you can set and forget and removes a lot of worry with running these things. Love an AEC but running with a Cummins makes sense these days.
I never knew they had a surpentine belt 😯. What a modern touch for an RM(L).
It was interesting to see the Lord getting a Cummins example going.
.
It was
I actually totally agree with you, love an aec but you want the Cummins to Gomito work. 👍👍
That’s me with the telehandler, nice to see it finally move under its own power
👍👍👍
Hi Pete, a couple of episodes on YT andbyou and Lord Barrington will have the bus up and running, best regards from a Kiwi living in Australia 👍👍👍👍

Can’t wait for another episode on this bus, mad to think how old it is with a bit of tinkering it runs quite easy with not too much trouble, well done Pete and Lord Barrington
Thanks for watching 👍
Great bit of video as always. Was very frustrating watching you trying to free the bus but I knew you wouldn't be beaten. Really looking forward to next instalment. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it
Holy moley that was edge of the seat stuff for me I must say, willing that bus out of the slime pit was hard work! Pete , that was one of your best vids imho just love the Routemaster rescue missions! Bravo!
Thanks 👍
Great effort by Lord Barrington & Pete, can’t wait for the next instalment 👍
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant episode! I was cheering the old bus on as it came out of the swamp. I love your enthusiasm combined with Lord Barrington's never changing expression!
Yeah he’s a machine 😂😜
Brilliant! Well done Pete and Tim!
Thanks for watching!
A great vid Pete it was a joy to see the rescue bus moving on her own speed, I was willling her to do it and like you Pete I cheered when she finally moved out of her watery pit. And now she's indoors at least now she will be warm and dry, well done Pete and Lord Barrington
Glad you enjoyed it
What a great video , I can’t wait to see RML 2704 get back on the road.
You and me both!
it is nice to know another RM/ RML will be rescued. They were built to last.
Thanks for watching 👍
A really good episode Pete. I’m sure I wasn’t the only cheering when she broke free from her pit?
Glad you liked it
Glad you liked it
Another one saved. 👍
Indeed!
The Gruesome Twosome! You blokes have the Midas touch. Tim isn’t scared of anything is he? Amazing work
Nope, fearless
Fantastic result Pete (and Lord B!) Seems your milkshake really does bring all the boys to the Yard!😉 Shame you reverted to the manual rivet gun though 😉
Keep ‘em comin’!
JCHK
I didn’t bring the electric one with me, that was Lord B’s one
Now Lord Barrington is a ‘real’ Lord you will have to practice your curtsy Pete… great episode as usual 👍🏻🚌
Working on it!
Fantastic to get the old girl out of the water I think there is no oil in the diff 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Well done to you both
Thanks for watching!
RMs are tough buggers aren’t they.
That one started so well.
They certainly are
An exciting start to another PAHB adventure.
👍👍
Epic, I know where this bus is!
Near my work! 🏴
allways wondered about it!
Cool! Luckily she’s no longer there. Thanks for watching
Well what can I say… I’ve known about this channel for a while but never paid much attention to it. But then I watched episode 39 and I was hooked. I’ve binged watched every episode over the last couple of days. Love the content, love the humour, love the buses and especially the bits which feature the awesome jags. ( I’m a jag nut myself) keep up the great work Pete. Looking forward to the next episode 😎
Thanks so much! Glad to have you with us. 👍👍 gotta love a jag!!!
It was a great job. I enjoyed watching the video.
Another double-decker bus guy is greeting you. ;-)
Glad you enjoyed it!
A big smile from start to finish. Full lock doesn't do you any favours in these circumstances. I wondered when you'd realise that. Very well done. Hope to get some updates as and when.
👍👍
It wound itself on full lock. Wasn't a choice. We also moved a lot of ground out of the way before it drove out.
Good to hear she's been saved! Glad to hear she's undercover
thanks for watching
Awsome work by lord Barrington and awesome work by you Pete love watching what you both getting upto
Brilliant video as always Pete well done both hope the family are well
Glad you enjoyed it
Amazing job guys as always 👏
Thanks for watching!
I have found today your video and it’s amazing. What brilliant accents you have. If you get Phillip glenister as a getaway driver you could be a thoroughly decent gentleman 1960s bank robbers
I’ll give him a call…. 😂
I'm sat watching this on my tablet with earphones in shouting "come on old girl you can do it! Come on! Come on! I was almost as excited as Pete when she came out yelling "YES" when she came out! Well done guys another RM on the long road to recovery
Good man 👍👍👍
Nice to see the bus come back to life
We were very please
👏🏼Bravo boys top work - was cheering when she hauled her ass out the pond
Nice one
Well done respect for saving that bus
Thanks 🙏
Well done boy's l can forgive
you for misleading us as in
" Overseas " but yes l think we want to see more of
RM2704 , please asap.😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😁😁😁😁
I don’t think I use the term “overseas” I believe it was “abroad” would want to miss lead now… 👍😂😜
@@PeteAndHisBus As a former Brit , now Australian
I thought Abroad & Overseas
means the same thing, unless l have memory loss
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🙄😁
Oh wow.
How the mind works! As soon as you climbed aboard I teared up. Used to catch the number 8 to school every day in the 70s. I'd LOVE to just sit there and take myself back to childhood 🥰
❤️ thanks for watching
Great video! I love a happy ending!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well done Guys this is one bus you guys should buy and get her back to full Psv Standard as there is never going to be enough Routemaster buses on the Road.
Thanks for watching
@@PeteAndHisBus I notice RML 2704 was an Ex London United bus and where about was she Kept as i recognised the West Cost Motors Bus on your Video.
What a great video. Thanks to Lord Barrington and yourself another RM(L) lives. So nice to hear that Cummins. Reminds me of my Days in London watching these in their final days on the 159. Just wish I could drive one one day.
Thanks for watching!
Absolutely brilliant, thank you for taking us along for the journey. Currently rescuing a 1943 AEC Matador. All the best and roll on the next upload 💪
Best of luck! Thanks for watching
@@PeteAndHisBus , thank you very much, I need it
Great job hope this sees the road again soon 👍.
Thanks for watching 👍
Amazing work again. Mad to think that it was sat for 10 years and you managed to fire it up so quickly. Great stuff 👍
Good aren’t they
came from a time, when British engendering, was the envy of the world. over engineered, and was still patrolling the streets of london, 50 years later, what a bus ❤
@@PeteAndHisBus Amazing really, I need to stop looking at eBay for buses after watching your videos 😂. I was quite taken with the comment you made in your video about people giving you grief for advocating alternative uses - on one hand it is a shame to see the original interiors and fittings lost, but more important the vehicles are saved and used. I guess there are only limited uses for an actual bus with 60 or so seats….
Well done to you both for sticking at it engine sounds great looking forward to seeing more the later 😊😊
Thanks 👍
Good Luck Lads
Thank you
Well done .
Thanks
What a breakfast treat that was. You guys are having way too much fun on the these old buses!
Thanks for watching 👍
It was great seeing you guys rescue RML 2704. Can't wait to see further developments on this mission.
Thanks for watching 👍
Just brilliant. True boys stuff! Can't wait to see her up and running again.
Thanks for watching 👍
Good one thanks PETE another one saved.
👍👍
I too have been able to enjoy and appreciate a friend with a delightful pad in the sunshine 😊 The bus from the pit? Always a cert, very neatly done gentleman.
Thanks
Getting RML2704 out of its hole is quite dramatic. Well done!
Thank you
What a relief it's alive and running love your videos cheers 🥂
Thanks 👍
Lovely to see these old girls still going ,,,,,the bus is great to ,,,lol ,well done chaps.

Thanks for watching
Pete i love your videos thank you for all what you do cheers to you and lord barrington 😁

That door probably saved the interior.
Cracking video with passion and tenacity on display.
Thanks
Well done Pete and Lord B, thats another another one of these beautiful and majestic buses saved.
Many thanks!
That place outside Cannes looks horrible.😂😂😂😂 im glad you toughed it out.
😂😂😂
It always amazes me that these busses can be left standing for 10 years and they still fire up after youve done some work on them
Same with us, and we deal with them all the time
Great work as always gentlemen 👌🏻
Thank you kindly!
They never die
Damn right!!!

Thank you! 😃
@@PeteAndHisBus your welcome really enjoyed it.
Cool video, your bussines is cool. Congratulations,

I knew she'd get out of that pit, I had faith in the old girl. Lord Barrington must have had arms like a bodybuilder by the time he'd finished with her steering. Well done guys
Thank you

Never never go full lock when you are struggling to move!
Could you not have told us that earlier 😂😂😂👍
Manys a good bus has ended up scrapped, because of loss of interest. I wish people would pass them on like yourself.
Agreed
Great video guys, I trust a low loader back to Blighty
Nope, she’s staying up there.
I am registered deaf and use special headphones the music is too loud....great video good to see you bringing this bus back to life....thank you
Sorry about that, hope you still got the gist of it though.
