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

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

operates
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.

Thanks.
You mentioned that the one I saw and the others have been sold; any idea
where they might be going?


It is just quoted as "summer 2004" currently.

and to answer another question, yes all the 8's Routemasters are based at
Bow and no they are not outstationed anywhere else
