After over 50 years service on the streets of London, the last Routemaster ran in ordinary service on Route 159 early afternoon of 9th December 2005. The vehicle chosen for this special duty was RM 2217, the last standard length Routemaster built in 1965. The vehicle is owned by Arriva and had previously been used to promote Harry Potter films as a specially decorated 3 deck bus. Route 159 runs between Marble Arch and Streatham Station, and was Routemaster operated for many years. Designed by London Transport and built by AEC at Southall with bodywork by Park Royal, 2760 Routemasters of various types were constructed for London use between 1959 and 1968 (the four prototypes were built between 1954 and 1957). Transport for London still supports the operation of Routemasters on heritage Routes 9 and 15, which augment the standard low floor bus service on these routes.
