5 april 2009 - Cobham (UK). It must not be forgotten that London buses were green as well as red – these worked in the country areas around the city. This particular RT survived in service very late and was one of only two or three to be painted in National Bus Company livery (as London Country Bus Services). Quite a few London buses switched colour between red and green as they were moved around depots, but this was always a green bus.

3 may 2009 - Redhill (UK) – Brighton Road - HCVS Rally. RT604 was one of the very last green RT buses to survive in service with London Country Bus Services, as the company had become. It survived long enough in passenger service to be painted into their bright green colour scheme – rather different from the standard London Transport ‘Lincoln green’ that had gone before.
