English: Routemaster bus RML2334 (reg. CUV 334C) was delivered new to London Transport in October 1965, in the dark green livery for use in the outlying 'Country Division' garages. It worked first from Godstone garage, on routes 409, 410 & 411. In January 1970 it passed to the newly created London Country Bus Services when the country area was passed from London Transport to the National Bus Company, who eventually repainted it into their lighter shade, corporate NBC, green. In October 1979 it was bought back by London Transport, painted red, and used on London service. It was one of the batch of buses given life extending refurbishmants/Cummins engines in the early 1990s. During the privatisation of London bus services, in 1994 it passed to Leaside Buses, later becoming Arriva London North. Latterly working route 38, it was finally withdrawn from London service in October 2005, and sold to dealer Ensigbus that December. It was then immediately sold to a private buyer. In preservation it has at some point been restored to its former NBC London Country green livery.
