Brixton bus drivers will star in a BBC documentary tonight about the night bus service in London.

The show follows drivers based at Brixton Bus Station as they work on the night buses. One of the drivers from Brixton speaks about how the area has changed since the 1950s and how much he loves it here. If you’re from Brixton, it’s very likely you’ve been on one of those buses with one of those drivers, taking you back through the darkness to home. And you can expect all the wonders, laughs, tears and drunken escapades that London life at night offers.

Routemasters: Running London’s Roads will air on BBC TWO at 9pm tonight. You can view a trailer here.
