Fondly remembered bus takes on new role - with a little help from FDB

The Leyland Routemaster, once so beloved of London Transport and its passengers may still be seen in service to a different kind of passenger, courtesy, in part at least, of the hardware supplier FDB Panel Fittings.

This time, however, it serves as a mobile hospitality platform at venues around the country, in the guise of the 'Bus Stop Bar'.

The converted double decker is used for functions, weddings, sporting events and so on, and features externally a variety of stainless steel hinges, chrome T handles and bridge handles on the side opening access panels, which provide part of the bar area and cover.

On internal cupboards there are a selection of hinges and quarter-turn locks, supplied assembled under the FDB Rocfast banner for ready installation, with a variety of cams.

The completed presentation is a delightful reminder of this style of public transport with a modern high quality finish.
