Routemaster bus RM2116

English: Routemaster bus RM2116 was delivered to London Transport in December 1964. It operated in standard red livery until 1983, when it was one of several buses, of different types, to be given a special liveries to mark London Transport's 50th anniversary (all buses received the anniversary logo seen to the front of side of the bus). RM2116, by then a showbus for Seven Kings (AP) bus garage, was one of the batch of buses to recieve a red/white/black/silver livery which resembled the 1933 version of London Transport's livery. It was also given the name "Forest Ranger" at this time (applied on the forward part of the white lower deck side window region). Unlike all the other anniversary buses, which were eventually repainted back into standard liveries, RM2116 was withdrawn from service in May 1984 and sold to the LT Sports Association, still in the commemoratvie livery. It has since passed through a number of owners and is now owned by Peter Legg and Gerry Dyer of Ferndown, Dorset. RM2116 has retained this special livery and has been exhibited at many rallies and events. RM2116 is also now also used at certain Amersham & District running days. The other Routemasters to receive the 1933 verson of the 50th anniversary livery were the show buses at Sidcup (SP) - RM8, Willesden (AC) - RM17, and Chalk Farm (CF) - RM1933. RM1933 survived to become a heritage routemaster on , and had the livery reapplied in October 2009.
