The Routemaster Association Appoints A New Chairman

The Routemaster Association’s 2025 AGM was held for the first time at The Oxford Bus Museum, in Long Hanborough on Saturday 1^st March. At the AGM John Ward stood down as Chairman, a position he held since 2022 and was replaced by long-standing committee member David Lee.

John Ward said “When I was elected in 2022, I realised it would be difficult to replace Andrew Morgan but RM70 was imminent and it had to be delivered. I am grateful for the support from the Committee and vehicle owners during my time as chairman.”

After the meeting David Lee said, “It is an honour and a privilege to be elected Chairman of the Routemaster Association. Having served on the committee since 2013, I am eager to take on the challenges ahead. For the first time in several years, we have a full committee of dedicated and talented volunteers, and I am confident that this team will drive the Association forward. These are challenging times for vintage vehicle clubs, but the Routemaster Association is well-positioned to adapt and thrive. Our key priority is to support our members by facilitating the re-manufacture of essential mechanical and bodywork components. We are fully committed to strengthening the Association, increasing engagement, and ensuring its future for years to come."
