3 may 2009 - Redhill (UK) – Brighton Road. One of the four original Routemaster prototypes – the front panels are different from the production version. This one was built by Leyland and not by AEC. It was the first Routemaster to be preserved.

13 april 2014 - Cobham, UK - Brooklands: On display at the London Bus Museum is the prototype Leyland (and not AEC) Routemaster of 1957. Note the different front end treatment and non-opening front windows upstairs. This bus entered service in January 1958 but was withdrawn after an accident in November 1959 - apart from short periods as a driver training bus, this was the extent of its operational life. It was obtained by the bus museum in 1974, being the very first Routemaster to be preserved.
