Dear All,
yesterday, we had quite a colourful selection of RMLs: here are some:
RML2565 from Stratford Upon Avon, on loan to Ensign - in Blue
RML2405 in Gold - from Ensign
RML2317 - from Metrobus in Green
RML2665 - from Stagecoach in their livery
regards

Route 159 is operated by Arriva.
The special guests - all 24 of them- operated on route 159 by the agreement of London Buses.
London buses regulate bus routes in London- in fact, they are the 'route owners'.
So:
RML2405 which was once owned by London buses and sold to Ensign, was operated by Ensign [in gold]
RML2665 and 2760 are owned by Stagecoach and operated by them
RML2565 is owned by a sightseeing company in Stratford upon Avon, and was on loan to Ensign for the day
RML2317 is owned by Metrobus- part of the Go Ahead company.
All the buses which were in service [but not ST922] were licensed to carry passangers, as 'class 6' , insured, etc.
regards

...
That company is Stratford Blue, which is wholly owned by Ensign. |

Thank you, you are right! however, legally, on Thursday RML2565 was running on Ensign's 'O' license plate and not Stratford Blue, so * technically* it was on loan to Ensign.
it sounds confusing - and it is.
Part of the requirements of operating the special guests on a TfL/London Buses routes is that the bus is operating by a copmany which is approved by London Buses for operation on their routes. Ensign is such a company, so the bus had to be on loan from Stratford Blue to Ensign and operate on their Operating License ['O' license].
