English: Routemaster bus RM910 (reg. EDS 288A ex-WLT 910) was delivered to London Transport in January 1962, registered as WLT 910. It was used in London until withdrawal in May 1986. It then saw further use in Glasgow, Scotland, after being sold to Kelvin Scottish in September 1986. They assigned it fleetnumber 1929 (applied on the driver's cab side, with RM910 retained on the bonnet side), and painted it in their blue & yellow livery. In March 1988 Kelvin re-registered it as EDS 288A. Having been sold by Kelvin in 1993, it passed through various dealers before being bought for preservation by the Lothian Bus Club. By at least 1999 they had repainted it into a commemorative madder & white livery in the style of Edinburgh Corporation Tramways (and still worn by its modern day successor Lothian Buses) to mark the anniversary of the closure of the tram system in 1956. It June 2009 it became part of the Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust collection. Between October 2009 and January 2010 it was restored and repainted from madder & white into Kelvin yellow & blue, being re-launched on 7 February 2010.
