Former London RML2639 (NML639E) has had a very professional conversion to open top with platform modifications for loading on the UK offside. It is seen in downtown Montreal near the end of its tour. The modifications have included relocating the destination blind above the platform. In contrast the front destination has been simply overpainted, detracting from its appearance. Similarly the "route advertising" is in the hands of vinyl banners tied to the bus sides.

Two RMLs are usually on the Peel Street stand to attract potential passengers for the regular departures on the two hour tour of the city. Note the London route numbers still on display under the cab cutaway: RML2639 on the 8 and RML2435 on the 15.
