I also see they say "All the buses used date from 1960-1964". Does
that mean the end for the RMLs which apart from the initial batch of
24 date from 1965 to 1968? Anyone seen one on a heritage route? I
see the poster shows and RML on the 9, though.

2760 was used yesterday and will be used this weekend as well.
According to MD of Stagecoach London at present they have only 5
repainted buses for a PVR of 5 so 2760 is the cover. Two more RMs due
on the road next week so 2760 use will be rarer

For trivia fans the bus in the poster is 2602 and was used for the
photos in early October before any of the RM's were available for the
publicity shots

So your implication is indeed that RMLs will soon disappear? RML2760
isn't refurbished, is it? Clearly it ought to be preserved as the last
Routemaster.

Any improvement to First Group's shoddy presentation of vehicles yet or
are buses still in 'as withdrawn' condition from other routes?

What a pity Stagecoach didn't get both contracts and that the routes
weren't combined to provide a worthwhile link which actually is of use
to someone.
