Seen at Victoria is a freshly reliveried extended Routemaster (type ERM). London Coaches, as was, had
a number of standard Routemasters extended by inserting a standard width bay centrally. This gave
a length greater than that of the RCL/RML and that extra upper deck seating, so vital on an opentopper.
London Coaches sold its open top tour operation to Arriva.

Standard RM1864 - also in Arriva London colours - contrasts with the ERM above.

RCL2240 (CUV240C) is seen in an earlier version of the Original London Sightseeing Tour livery and has kept its roof for use in inclement weather.

East Kent, together with the Northern group and Cardiff
Buses were the few operators to receive Willowbrook bodied VRs, these were highbridge vehicles.
Apparently they were, initailly at least, prone to leak in wet weather! A number of East Kent's ironically
ended up as closed top wet weather alternatives in the Original London Sightseeing Tour fleet.
TFN587T is seen near Baker Street, a starting point for many London Tours.
