Default Number 8 bus

It's an RMC (RouteMaster Country) bus. I believe it's based at Upton Park
garage, but am not 100% on that. As many will know, the traditional London
Buses are being phased out over the coming months, the 15, 11 and 23 have
already lost all the RM's. There have been some excellent "last night"
celebrations on each route, with some real gems for enthusiasts and
photographers - early RM's in original condition, RT's, RTW's and RMC's have
all been seen in recent weeks.

The one you saw Kat is ticketed to run in normal passenger service, for most
of this year it was on the 15.

Thanks for the information, Ray
(Haven't seen you on the e/b at MIE for a while now)
