Whatever the event, our heritage buses appeal as a Great British icon.
They do this in style, evoking nostalgia and always raise a smile. They are
practical, fun and cost effective, ideal for wedding transport, promoting your
business, proms or a great day out.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Our Speciality! Celebrating 21 years of faithfully providing transport for Wedding Parties.
Treat your clients to a special and memorable journey in a British icon.
For any special occasion why not travel in a special bus?
An excellent example of a classic London bus which operated in London for 34 years followed by faithful service with Alpha Bus Co since 2020.
Another superb classic Routemaster with a long history in London. Constantly in high demand with Alpha Bus Co.
Our oldest Routemaster still providing faithful service over 60 years later and always popular for weddings and events.
Over 70 years old and still going strong. This bus reaches places a double deck bus can’t. Ideal for smaller groups and full of classic character.

We have operating bases in Northants, Bucks and Kent from where we operate our heritage buses and coaches throughout London, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, Kent, Surrey, Sussex and North Hampshire.
Routemaster buses were designed for city driving and not for speed. A top speed of 38-40mph does not make for a swift journey. A journey of 50 miles in each direction would be about the limit for a Routemaster. This would take almost 2 hours each way, excluding any traffic delays!
You can take as many as you like! Each bus carries a specific number as outlined below:
Routemaster - 64
Routemaster Lengthened - 72
AEC Regal (RF) Single Deck Bus - 39
For insurance reasons we do not permit standing passengers.
You may hire one or any combination of different buses, or one bus can make several trips, dependent on time and distance.
Please remember that buggies, wheelchairs, bags, equipment, floral displays and photographers also take up seat space! Please don't assume such items can be carried, it may not always be possible!
Yes of course you can. Personalised destination blinds with your personal details or message can be produced but we will need time to manufacture them. When your trip is complete you can keep them as a souvenir. Please remember to complete this request when making an inquiry and we will calculate the cost.
Absolutely - Although they are historic vehicles, and over sixty years old, they have to go through the same regular safety inspections and maintenance procedures as modern buses. They are therefore required to meet the DVSA inspection criteria.
Our buses are exempt from having seat belts, but your safety is important and we do not permit passengers to stand on the open rear platform whilst the bus is moving.
Our heritage buses are of an old design, which are not as accessible as modern vehicles for those with restricted mobility.
Cheers! Yes you can (excluding some sporting events which prohibit alcohol). We supply plastic flutes and service by our bus crew, you supply the champagne.
We charge a small fee for corkage and do all the washing up afterwards, along with recycling all the bottles!
This is not a problem; we can supply as many as you need through our network of
contacts subject to availability. We are proud to have supplied 25 Routemasters for an
event.
