Product Description
Product Description
Corgi are proud to introduce the first and only die cast collection to be inspired by the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, which we hope becomes a lasting legacy of a monumental moment in sporting history. Whether it is a high end, authentically detailed Limited Edition piece or the start of a multi piece ‘collect them all’ series, there is something here for everyone.
The double Decker bus was the official mode of transport for over 6,000 athletes during the 1948 London Olympics. Special services began on the 8th July and ran to the 21st August 1948,345,000 miles were covered. The London Transport Executive was formed in 1948, the year of the last Olympic Games hosted in London, as part of the government’s massive post-war nationalisation programme.
LT entered public ownership as part of the British Transport Commission which also owned the newly formed British Railways. The red double decker bus remains an iconic symbol of London and will be seen by millions of visitors to London during the Olympic Games.

Very happy with the speed of delivery, the bus is excellent a good example of London 2012 Olympic items. I bought this for my grandson who is highly delighted with his gift to celebrate London 2012.

It is made of metal, and durable. "London 2012" on the bus makes it memorable! If you are picking a "British" toy, I think it is a good choice.

Ordered this for my London theme night and it is a fantastic Corgi model with plenty of detail of the Classic Routemaster. Looks great as my Centrepiece.

Corgi London bus
Very good item just right for a stocking filler for a very "old" child in his 70s. Good for the younger ones too. I recommend this item very much. Good quality too

Long term investment
Bought for an Aussie girl to remind her of The Games and to be an investment for her future health care in say 40 years time. For show only - not for playing with. Read more

This toy has given great fun and educational learning to most children and adults who have seen it. It also gives people and insight as to what bus travel was like.
