602 LT bus to Manchester? Gower Street, London, 11 Nov 1998 ©Aidan O'Rourke

What connection could a London bus have with Manchester? I put in the fake destination and number because I thought it would be nice if homesick Mancunians in London could hop on a bus and be home in 20 minutes.

But there's aanother connection with Manchester: During the 80's some ex-London Routemaster buses were operated between West Didsbury and Piccadilly. Unfortunately, the service didn't last long.

Does anyone remember the Manchester Routemasters?
