I would also like to add my thanks to you Peter & Ross for what really was a memorable and enjoyable day five years ago Steve. I still have the February 2005 Bus & Coach Preservation magazine with a photo of me drawing RML2271 out of the hat with you and your dad in close attendance.

In the five years since I bought RML2271, I have been involved in more Routemaster driving than I ever was when I drove the Kelvin Central fleet, Chris's RM471 was of course one of the thirty six Kelvin RMs I drove in that three year period.

My bus number (if any): RML2271 (owner), RML2358/RCL2223 (Driver)
