Also, its sensible to make sure that hand brake is on and the semi automatic gear box gear selector is in neutral.... Also, cold starting engine good idea to have start at full throttle. :)

@@Martindyna on a cold day, with a cold engine you'd be there a good while! You start on full throttle and ease off the accellerator steadily until you reach idle. To quickly the engine will cut out, esppecially with older vehicles than the routemaster with similar engines. That has slow idle speeds. Im not suggesting you sit there foot to the floor for a long period of time its within seconds (depending on conditions.)

As you can imagine, I couldn't agree more..

Different to when in LT service climb up leaving door open in summer as got too hot (against rules but no one bothered to enforce). Push in engine stop and pull down on starter switch after checking handbrake on and neutral selected. All were the same when owned by LT. RT's/RF's slightly different in that engine stop was the gas pedal just lift to stop engine.
