This isn't a "still running", being introduced last year, but Leeds - Bradford route "Hyperlink" 72 is, assuming a "Hyperlink host" counts as a conductor.

Well, a handful of buses on short trips on those routes...

Go North East used to on the X66 shuttle between Gateshead and Metrocentre. Usually a conductor selling the tickets at the Metrocentre whilst waiting for the bus to arrive in order to speed up the loading process.

Not sure they do this and not sure if this actually counts.

Don't Ensignbus regularly put out some of their Heritage fleet on the cross river service on the run up to Christmas ?

Classic Bus North West usually has conductors on their summer 'Seafront 12' service along Blackpool promenade, at least when the Routemasters are used.

 

[Stonesourscotty]

is there still a routemaster route in the midlands? RML travel or something?

Also the LTs on route 38, and the ones for route 24 later this year will have conductors too.

Although they're not conductors in the normal sense of the word - they don't sell or check tickets. Or work late evenings.

The Luton Airport Parkway shuttle services has a conductor and a driver.

If only First Groups train division were quite so keen on having conductors!

Yes, they do. It is generally on the first Saturday in December combining thier X80 and X81 routes to create a good long Shenfield - Gravesend route via the Dartford Crossing.

Every year is different with usually one or two newly restored buses coming out to play, some of which haven't seen passengers on board in years.
