Re: RM 113 & 2133

RM113 still registered VLT 113 now alive and kicking (quite hard actually!) on a sightseeing service in Victoria, capital of British Columbia. Took several photos but don't know how to get them on here. A topless DMS was also spotted but of unknown fleet number.
There are qite a few RMs in Toronto doing sightseeing trips but couldn't track down a stationary one to investigate.
Also saw RCL 2255 in Niagara doing likewise and had quite a chat with the driver who happens to be an enthusiast, not just doing a job.
Life in the old girls yet!

My bus number (if any): RT 3183

I think it may have been Mark Beckham you were talking to Chris. Mark moved to Toronto after the Routemasters on the 38 were replaced by Bendy Buses at Clapton Garage. Like me, Mark preferred being a crew driver.

My bus number (if any): RM967 (Driver/Restoration consultant)
