RML2335

RML2335 is seen here departing Brockley Rise, passing the old Total petrol station note the Green Shield stamps sign which dates the photo :) Like many Routemasters by then, the AEC triangular radiator badge had been nicked! The bus was originally built as a country bus for use on routes out of Godstone (GD) garage. It was one of many that were disposed of by London Country as surplus to requirements, and entered service with LT as a red bus in early 1978. The bus ran until 2004 and was eventually preserved.
