Routemaster bus RML2440

English: Routemaster bus RML2440 (reg. JJD 440D) was delivered to London Transport in May 1966, in the dark green livery for use in the outlying 'Country Division' garages. In January 1970 it passed to the newly created London Country Bus Services when the country area was passed from London Transport to the National Bus Company, with the dark green livery retained but the cream band replaced by yellow, and with the application of yellow London Country fleetnames and logo. It lasted in service long enough to be one of the several London Country Routemasters bought back by London Transport, of RML, RMC and RCL class. After being bought in June 1979, it was stored and then overhauled, finally entering service in red Central Area livery in August 1980. As with all RML buses, in the early 1990s it was re-engined (Cummins) and refurbished. It saw use in London into the privatisation era, passing in 1994 into the fleet of London Central, who in July 1995 route-branded it for use on route 12. In April 2004 it was sold to dealer Ensignbus, and a year later sold into private hands for preservation. After restoration to its original London Transport Country Area livery, it has been an active participant in rallies and events ever since.
