London Coaches Routemaster ERM
Seen at Victoria is a recently 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.

Timebus RLH23 & London Transport RM450 open top
Routemaster RM450 (WLT450) got converted to open top and was transferred to London Coaches. It appeared with them at the first Duxford Showbus and was used as a commentary point. It is seen with RLH23 at SHOWBUS international 2002 when both buses were in the ownership of Timebus.
 

As part of the more colourful First line up at SHOWBUS international 2007, First London provided two Routemasters. The open topper is RM120, now registered SSL809 and alongside is "Dartmaster" RD39862, better known as RM1562 (562CLT) which can be found regularly working heritage route 9 in central London. Next in line is Eastern Counties "Fruitmaster" RML2633 painted in the colours of absorbed Yarmouth operator "Flying Banana", another Eastern Counties RML in mock Yarmouth blues presumably had a touch of the blues and chose to park separately.

One of a handful of British buses at the First European Bus Festival in Germany in April 2004 was former RM1919. The bus was converted to open top when it was painted in Harrods' green and gold colours for use on their London tour, alongside their Neoplan Skyliner. Since export to Germany and repaint into this smart silver colour scheme, it has had some platform modifications, which have actually extended the bus' length. The bus is seen at the Speyer Technik Museum after being on display in nearby Sinsheim town centre as part of the four day European event.
