RM 1124 and RML 2752 at the former Streatham Garage terminus of route 159
Interesting to think that right up until the very end of mainstream Routemaster operation in London on route 159 in December 2005 former London General RML 2752 still retained its white plastic London Buses triangular radiator badge from its refurbishment by TBP Holdings of Birmingham in 1992 at a time when nearly all of these white London Buses radiator badges were long removed from the RML fleets still operating in everyday service following the privatisation of the former London Buses operating units in the autumn of 1994. Although by now treated to the Arriva fleetnames and the thin reflective yellow stripe on the lower panels, the only giveaway on RML 2752 being a former London General vehicle was the relief band being in pure white as opposed to being in the Arriva corporate sandstone colour. Upon its last major overhaul at Aldenham Works RML 2752 carries the former body from RML 2305.
