Unfortunately part of the deal to keep a few RMs running in London is the loss of their admittedly worn out AEC engines and gearboxes. They sound just like Dennis Darts.
I thought it needed a intro myself the other video had the open day at the start this just drops you in the action maybe I should have used some of the pics at the beginning need to work on my editing . It was a very nice day saw lots of other odd things as well .....Thanks..........Ian.
Im only new to this , I will ask the people who I went with and I hope they will give me a answer . I only know this a week after this event route 9s Routemasters will be with drawn from service. That came up during conversation will post again when I get a answer from my friends ..........Thanks Ian.
We know it's safe. It's tested to be safe! but when you see a 7ft 6ins wide RT take a 90 degree turn at anything more than a fast walking pace, it looks very worrying. God knows what it does to the tourists on the top deck!
Really great shots and well put together. Thank you for sharing this. Especially enjoyed watching an original RM being followed by New one.

No Dart has been fitted with an Allison MT643 or T270(R) gearbox, only the engines (Cummins B-series) are the same
I don’t know that does sound suspiciously like a Dart gearbox to me in that first clip.
Very nice video!
Thanks for the comment nice day out........Ian.
Nice one Ian - Some nice buses there.
Cheers, Bob.
