Taken probably in 1979, this fine picture from Kim's collection shows Ford D towing lorry 1989F taking a very dead (engine-less?) RCL up what looks like Park Lane, closely pursued by Green Line RS119 on route 708 to Aylesbury. The RCLs, along with the RMCs and some RMLs, were then in the process of repurchase by LT from London Country and most were eventually put back into use as either service buses or trainers.

The Routemaster is RCL2226, distinguishable by the pale green band and was the last example to carry it. En route from Godstone garage to AEC Southall Works. The RCL was rehabilitated and returned to service on the 149 from Edmonton Garage, and is now [May 2022] part of Ensign's heritage fleet.
