| This is RM2217 the last official routemaster seen with the press bus
in front and police escort behind. despite the best laid plans, and RM2217
leaving Marble Arch over forty minutes late. It seems that RM54 may have
still been in service after the last official bus reached Brixton Garage.
RM54 was delayed in central London and diverted because of a demonstration.
Although in front of RM2217, it had to go all the way to Streatham Station
rather than the garage.
