In 1979, the Conservative government was elected, and one of their policies was to deregulate the bus industry. This meant that private companies were now allowed to operate buses in London, competing with the publicly-owned London Transport.
The of competition led to a number of changes in the bus industry. One of the most significant was the decline of the Routemaster bus. Private companies found that the Routemaster was too expensive to operate, as it required a conductor as well as a driver. As a result, they began to introduce new, one-person operated buses.
London Transport also began to phase out the Routemaster bus. In 1982, they announced that they would be withdrawing the Routemaster from all but a few heritage routes. This decision was met with protests from the public, who were keen to save the iconic bus.
Despite the protests, London Transport went ahead with their plans, and the Routemaster bus was gradually withdrawn from service. By 1984, it had been withdrawn from all but three routes: the 15, the 98 and the 23.
The Routemaster bus continued to operate on these three routes until 2005, when they were finally withdrawn from service. However, the Routemaster bus has not been forgotten. It is still seen as an iconic symbol of London, and there are a number of heritage routes that still operate using Routemaster buses.
