as someone has already painted out it is RML2456 that was painted green

part of the "celebrations" for the opo conversion of the 15 and now

on the 8 (until that goes opo next year) The RMC's that used to operate
on
the 15 have all been sold.
2456 was new as a green bus in the old County Department of LT, hence why
it
was chosen to be painted green.

Are you sure it was new as green? I thought all the JJD reg buses were
red, and East London.

Ken,
According to "In Shades Of Green" by Richard Clark, JJD-D registered
RML2421-60 were delivered as green country area buses.
RML2456 entered service in May 1966 at Harlow.
