The bus, which was a pub (7 photos)
41-year-old businessman Colin Flitter 18 £ 500 bought on eBay a classic double-decker Routemaster 1966 issue and turned it into a pub called Hop On Inn, which translates as "migratory tavern».
Having invested alteration bus another 14 000 pounds, Colin turned the ground floor into a fully functioning pub. On the second floor seats were replaced with comfortable chairs and part of the roof was removed and replaced with an awning, which will be shot in the warm, sunny days, which in England is not much.
Thanks to remove the windows on the first floor of the bus, the pub is possible to serve customers, standing in the street. But despite such total transformation, the original features have been retained London bus, even it the inscription London Transport.
Flitter idea borrowed from the Americans. When he was in Orlando, Florida, he spotted a similar bus redesigned under the English pub.
Colin said that the bus had been committed minimum conversion. "This Routemaster - one of the last decommissioned in 2005. He cruised along the route №38 Circus - Piccadilly »
This is actually a very good idea - to remake the famous symbol of London pub. Indeed, many come to us out of nostalgia - this bus they went when they were young.
Today, a similar transport on routes not, despite the fact that these buses were manufactured from 1956 to 2005 ».
Flitter plans to use the mobile service to the pub festivals, shows and various outreach activities.
But the bus Routemaster "in action" in 1976 - the passengers waiting in line for a landing at the stop in Kingston in London.
