RM2217 - CUV 217C
On December 9th 2005, the Route master finally disappeared from regular service in London, after more than 50 years of active service. Although several vehicles were in service that day, the officially designated “last” Route master was RM2217 which operated on Route 159 between Stratham and Marble Arch. Sun Star model 2914 replicates RM2217 exactly as it ran its last journey. A limited number of Route masters continues to operate on so-called Heritage Routes as can be seen from the advertisements on RM2217.
