The
RMC (Route Master Coach) was designed as a higher specification
Routemaster with doors at the rear and 'luxurious' (at the time)
features including deeper seat cushions, fluorescent lighting, better
suspension and luggage racks.
A small number of these were built in 1962/3 and were primarily
used for 'Green Line' commuter coach work to & from Central
London. At the end of the 1980's some of the RMC's including this
bus ended up in East London and took up a new London Buses express
service, route X15 (called the 'Beckton Express') linking the new
Docklands areas with Central London. Unfortunately the X15 didn't
last that long and most of the RMC's were sold off. This one ended
in up in Scotland working for Mac Tours until recently when we acquired
the vehicle.
This vehicle has been refurbished recently and has one of the latest
low emission engines. It has been repainted in the classic London
route X15 livery with a Gold beading around the windows.
A superb looking London bus for any event!
Please note: This bus does not require a conductor
