It has been three years today since we lost Ted, many happy memories of a loveable old rascal if ever there as one. Always a laugh, ever scheming, generous to a fault and passionate about his buses and Routemasters in general. He is survived by his buses; both of which were a challenge he took on.

I think he is somewhere between Aldenham and Greece right now.

Ted worked for me at Nostalgiabus in Mitcham in the late 1990s when we ran RMs on route 306 from Kingston to Epsom. As others have said, Ted was always scheming, ducking and diving. However, he got the job dome and was passionate about the buses.

He also worked for Dave Pring at Timebus before us I think when they used to run a route 306 in Watford with the same fleet of RMs. his regular conductor was Jeff Moon aka Tellytubby. He eventually went driving and I haven't seen him since.

Last time I saw him was at his 50th birthday (I think) in a pub in Chatham. Not many people turned up, so that rather dampened the evening a bit considering the trouble he went to to get the party together.

My bus number (if any): RML2532
