RML 2464 JJD464D was new to London Transport in April 1966 and was pressed into service at Finchley a month later. After spells at West Ham, Hornchurch and Stockwell it received a new Cummins engine in 1991.
Upon privatisation in late 1994 it worked for London United and was withdrawn in September 2004 being placed into store at Tolworth
RML 2464 was then sold to Ensignbus (dealers) from where it was acquired three months later by Master Exhibitions of London. They converted the RML into a mobile exhibition unit for the Royal Bank of Scotland complete with open top and awning. When seen today it was promoting Utility Warehouse
It's not the first occasion it has visited the town as I photographed it when it was promoting Nat West Bank further north in the Market Place during January 2014
My thanks to Will for the photographs. RML 2464's history was obtained from the excellent Ian's Bus Stop website
