Rats. Does this mean some RM's will be withdrawn, or shifted onto the 15?

Not a surprise & although he is making a meal of them continuing on the 15H, mark my words, there days are very numbered to.

Interesting how he makes an announcement like this on his blog that it will happen, and then at the end of the article it says (The proposed change is subject to consultation and contractual arrangements).

it appears they are going to select the best of the 19 remaining serviceable Routemasters for the 15 Matt & presumably retire the rest.
