About the Routemaster Bus… “M1000, carrying the famous fleet number 100 BXL, is a truly significant piece of London’s transport history. It wasn’t just any bus; it was the 1000th Routemaster to be built, representing the peak of this iconic model’s production. Here are its key historical details: Milestone Vehicle: As the 1000th unit, RM1000 symbolized the immense success and popularity of the Routemaster design. It was part of the final batch (RM1000-RM1026) built by AEC in 1965. The “BXL” Number: Its fleet number, 100 BXL, is instantly recognizable to bus enthusiasts. The “BXL” code specifically identified buses allocated to Bexley (B) Garage for their entire operational life on London’s roads. Faithful Service: For its entire standard-service career, RM1000 operated route 51 between Woolwich and Orpington, becoming a familiar sight in South-East London for over two decades.”
