In 1966 she was at Stamford Hill garage, and in 1967 received a new Leyland engine. She was sold in 1986 to Blackpool Transport, working there for 10 years. In 1997 the vehicle was acquired by Reading Mainline Buses, remaining there until 2000. In that millennium year she was bought back by Transport for London and refurbished at Marshalls of Cambridge. In 2001 the bus received a new Scannia engine. By 2004 she was on route 9, then transferred to Arriva for route 38 out of Clapton. In 2005 she was reregistered to 448 UXS, and the following year went into private ownership. She was acquired by David Paskell for preservation in 2007. Sporting London United livery (no cream band), she now appears at rallies, and is available for private hire.
