The Routemaster

This is the Routemaster that Larry Sullivan has bought from Ensignbus. The plan is to transform this bus from carrying London passengers to providing opportunities for children to engage with new technologies and new ways of learning.

The bus will be kitted out with 'state of the art' Apple computers, digital video and still cameras, webcams, sound recording equipment, plus a fast connection to the Internet. From animation, to video broadcasting, the opportunities are endless. We are sure this new and exciting venture will unlock children's creativity forever!

The opportunities are endless. It is hoped this bus will be ready for service in early October 2005. Take a look at some photographs, she looks stunning already... and she isn't finished yet!
