Many thanks for coming along to meet me in the most wonderful venue,
The London Transport Museum!
It was such an honour to share with you stories about what inspired
the writing of Beatrice and the London Bus books and the creation of my characters.

I hope you have already started reading volume one and mostly that you are enjoying
Beatrice’ s story about her dreams, especially the dream she has to become a bus driver of a talking bus
and drive around her city to discover many wonderful things.

I hope, it’ll help you remember that not matter how weird, uncool and strange your dreams
and your imagination might appear to others ,
you should trust them and cherish them.
ALWAYS,
just like Beatrice does.
She does in fact becomes a Bus driver and really embarks on some wonderful adventures about
her wonderful town, LONDON, and with a trusted friend –
a special talking London Bus only special people can hear-
people with a great imagination.

As long as your dreams
matter to you,
and to the people who love you,
it is what matters the most.

Discover London Buses

Hello!

London Buses are very popular in London,

there are many around and everyone gets on and off to get around

the city. They are red and not so fast, but some drivers drives them so fast

that you really have to  hang yourself very tight, otherwise you fall off.

But among all the buses in London, there is one that is very special.

Today I want to introduce you

this very special London Bus who is a very good

friend of mine.

RM 168 via Waterloo!

168 is his name

via Waterloo, his surname

and he is a Routemaster Bus

A very special model from the past

that everyone loves!

168 via Waterloo is a Routemaster bus, but not just any RM buses,

he is a speaking one,

  – even though most people

can ‘t hear him –

and he is a very, very old bus…

the oldest bus to still travel around London
