Re: Routemaster and RF/GS Wanted

2569 sounds familiar to me, who has that at the moment?

My GS "could" be for sale but I'd want a lot of money for it as it's recently had a thorough rebuild and has a class 6 & COIF, probably the only one with current class 6.

Thanks for the seals, I could do with them!

Re: Routemaster and RF/GS Wanted

RML2569 is on ebay with a classic car dealer . The interior looks ex service condition.
RML2306 and 2323 both have been mentioned on the routemaster association's facebook page and possibly on their website for contact details.

ISTR 2569 9though I may be wrong)was bought by a lady from an operator up north who worked for us as a conductress, thinking running a wedding bus would be easy money. It was "worked" a couple of times without PSV o licence etc and may have been "nicked" by VOSA for doing so! I think it was at Detling Showground round the back in May. If it's the same bus, it has Clayton accumulators and was in Arriva ex service condition, Cummins engine.

For the GS I'd be looking at about £28k.

Re: Routemaster and RF/GS Wanted

I'm hoping to get a COIF & Class 6 for GS 17, one day.

.... not for sale though I'm afraid.

I may have an RM (not RML) for sale soon......

AEC engine, all original features, COIF & just Class 6'ed until June 2014

Chris Dobbing,

My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471. 2213 & GS17

I read the 11s are next to go Borismaster James, so Go-Ahead London will be recruiting conductors shortly.
