Dark green and looked kind of older than others on that route..
Anyone know what that's about?
Seen near St Pauls (station) this morning BTW

Older than a routemaster! Must have had horses on the front?

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

So these dinosaurs are finally getting the chop, welcome to the 1970's.!

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.

So was the 8 a country area route then or am I missing something?
