AEC RML2760, the last Routemaster - at least numerically - was in the tender care of Stagecoach East London, and despite replacing Stagecoach's 'traditional' style gold logo on other Routemasters with the new corporate logo and white fleetname, RML2760 stalwartly retained a London Transport fleetname, underlined all in gold, plus a flake grey relief band as it had back in 1968. It is seen 33 years later in almost as good condition as when new, at SHOWBUS Iinternational.

 The initial batch of 30 feet long Routemasters were not designated RML, but ER for Extended Routemaster. Prototype RML3 had gained the original 'RML' tag for being 6 inches longer than RM1 and RM2. Eventually things were rationalised when the 1965 RMLs came along. London United has chosen to paint this early RML in a mock vintage livery and redesignated it ER880. It is seen with RM765 at SHOWBUS international 2001. |
 Another early RML - this time 903 from Metroline London Northern with RM1000 at SHOWBUS international 2001. |
 Routemaster RML903 again at SHOWBUS with both RM1000 and RM1001. |
 The last production Routemaster, Stagecoach's RML2760, is seen alongside RM2116 at SHOWBUS international 2002. Routemaster RM2116 bears mock 1933 livery, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of London Transport in 1983. The Museum's Land Warfare Hall is in the background. |
