Last Stop - a photographic celebration of the Routemaster
16 May to 27 July 2008
CBS Outdoor Gallery, London Transport Museum
Ralf Obergfell's vibrant images capture moments during the Routemasters' final eighteen months of regular service. They pay tribute to the bus's warm, weighty yet elegant design features and also to the staff and passengers that travelled on routes 19 and 38.
German born, Ralf has been drawn to London ever since he saw a Routemaster on television in his teens and was struck by the bright red, the curves and the powerful design. Last Stop is Ralf's first solo exhibition.
A book accompanying the exhibition will appeal to all urban design junkies and will be available soon in London Transport Museum's shop and online.
To coincide with the Last Stop season we've organised some special events for adults and children.
