The double-decker "Routemaster", built by the Company AEC was introduced in London in 1956, and began to be phased out in the year 2000. They are now only used on "Heritage" routes as a tourist attraction, and there are still some Londoners campaigning for them to be brought back. They were such an iconic symbol of London that many movies have used a street scene with a Routemaster bus in it to establish that the following action takes place in London.

Can you use your senior bus pass on the tube in London?

I am not sure what kind of Senior Bus Pass you have but here's 2 kinds of Bus Passes in United Kingdom. Freedom Pass (Senior and Disabled Pass within London Area) This is a pass issued to Pensioners and Disabled People living in the London Area by the Council. These passes are valid on the tube, buses and National Rail services within the 6 zones of the London Transportation. You can use your Freedom pass after 9:00 am Mondays to Fridays and anytime on Weekends and Bank Holidays on buses and tubes and after 9:30 am on the National Rail Services. Disabled passes can be used anytime on tubes and buses but only after 9:30 am on National Rail Services. There are some boroughs allow these passes to be used on buses just outside the M25. You just need to ask the driver before boarding the bus. From January 2009, Senior Bus Passes are valid on the buses all around the country subject to restrictions and conditions. Senior Bus Pass Most Borough or Council outside London Area issue free bus passes to pensioners and (maybe) to disabled people. These passes are only valid on buses within their area and are not valid to travel in London Area.
