You sure?

Yes. I've read things about them being bought up after routes are
converted, saying that demand exceeds supply.

Unlike other second-hand ex-London buses, which are the
mainstay of many local operators around the country, Routemasters
require crew operation and are therefore too expensive.

They aren't generally bought for operating normal services. They're for
private hi things like weddings where a nice bright, shiny
Routemaster - the traditional and iconic London bus - will suit the
occasion a lot better than other kinds of bus.
