New Routemaster in service today.

Aw, it's cool having a right-hand drivers station, I wouldn't change that. Now having a second drivers station up on the upper deck would be a project worth contemplating...you could have that one on the left.

     DMTA, Nu!  I've actually looked at what it would take to do that!  With a plain extension for the steering up into the upper deck, a Y onto my air "throttle", a second brake master (with a couple of one way valves) and a second turn signal/horn, you'd be done.  Except for the fabrication of the brackets and pieces to make it work, it would only be a couple of days job.  A gear extension to the steering (to keep the lower level wheel free) or moving it to the left upstairs would be a bigger job.

     But I'm with you, I like the right hand steering wheel -- I can get extra work delivering mail    and talk to pretty wimmins on the sidewalk (it's a good thing that The Management doesn't read this forum).

With controls both top and bottom, it would be hard for people like my wife to decide which one to yell at the driver at...

So cool, why don't you post more pictures. I would love to see more of your bus.

       Dave, here are a few photos from a few weeks ago.  There is much left to do and some of these items are "temporary" but I'm making some progress.  You'll notice a lot of "unusual" solutions since I don't have bays under the floor.  These photos backwards to start at the lower right photo and then click "Previous" to see them in some sort of logical order.
