London Transport RCL 2239
RCL2239 at the 2002 Duxford event was displayed in central area livery.
 
London Transport RCL 2243
Nearby RCL2343 was similarly attired, but minus blinds.
 
Original Sightseeing Tour RCL2240
The RCLs extra seating capacity and early release from front line service helped a number of them into the Sightseeing fleets, some with open tops. RCL2240 is seen in London Coaches Original Sightseeing Tour livery, prior to the widespread use of Arriva style colours. The vehicle has lost its twin headlights which were fitted when new.
 

RCL2241 (CUV241C) is seen in St Andrew's Square, Edinburgh also on sightseeing tour duties with Lothian Bus subsidiary, Mac's Tours. Unlike RCL2240, 2241 has been modified to partial open top form.
 

Another view of RCL2241 on tour, rather than loading at the St Andrew's Square terminus. Both views are from July 2005.
