Ruby, Cornwall’s home based and only regularly operating London Routemaster double-decker bus, has just achieved 50 years of constant service since her introduction into Central London service in 1965.

The all red, Falmouth based, bus has been owned and operated by four "chums" since 2012 and regularly goes out on charters, to bring smiles on the faces of passengers and bystanders alike.

Shareholder and Ruby manager, David Russell, said: “During this year, we have done numerous trips around stunning Cornwall for weddings, birthday parties, tours and even filming gigs. Our final trip of 2015 is likely to be taking a group of Falmouth based carers for a well-deserved Christmas lunch on the Bodmin & Wenford Railway. Next year, Ruby is already well booked for a wide range of trips, especially to fun and interesting venues."
