Routemaster Association membership is open to anyone with an interest or connection to Routemasters - enthusiasts, operators, private owners and suppliers of parts or services - in fact anyone who has a genuine interest in these vehicles.

The benefits of membership include the following:

Quarterly magazines are produced in Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn, containing the latest news affecting the operation and ownership of Routemasters as well as technical bulletins, parts and supplier information as well as other information. (Digital only members are not sent these by post.)
Access to digital versions of the quarterly magazines are available to all members online for the current membership year
An online Newsletter is produced and emailed to all members at approximately monthly intervals
Access to the Suppliers Listing online that includes all known suppliers of parts for Routemaster vehicles; a member's discount is available from some of these suppliers for parts or services for Routemaster vehicles
Access to the Gallery section of the website where you can upload your images
Access to the Forum pages online where you can post and join in conversations
The Association supplies various specialist parts to suit Routemaster vehicles (and has included footbrake service valve kits, king pins, "quill" drive units, flooring, window rubber profiles, indicator ear rubbers, bodywork fixings, sliding bulkhead windows, radiator badges, bonnet badges, paint and four sets of solvent fix transfers), many having been manufactured especially for them. Although most items are available for non-members to purchase, members benefit from advantageous prices.
