English: Routemaster bus RM1735 (reg. 735 DYE) was delivered to London Transport in October 1963. It was used in London until withdrawal in December 1984. In 1986 it saw further public transport use outside London in the Blackpool Transport fleet (526) and then the Reading Mainline fleet (36).

It went into operation on route 13 from September 2001 for Sovereign Bus & Coach, before being finally withdrawn in October 2005.
