Editing AEC Routemaster (section)

=== Hong Kong ===
RM1288 (Hong Kong #1) and RM1873 (Hong Kong #2) were sent to Citybus to attend the "British Exhibition" held at the New World Center in Tsim Sha Tsui in 1984. In 1985, the rear stairs and the boarding platform were swapped left and right to make them suitable for left-hand drive traffic in mainland China. After the completion of the project, RM1288 and RM1873 were shipped to Guangzhou and Beijing respectively for promotion purposes, hoping to find further uses for the Routemaster, which was being retired from London at the time.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}} RM1288 was withdrawn in 2015, sold to Great European Carnival (HKGEC) and then preserved at Kam Tin campsite in Forest Valleyland.<ref>{{Cite web |title=AEC Routemaster at Kam Tin campsite |url=https://www.google.com.sg/maps/@22.4692389,114.0569225,3a,15y,316.55h,86.32t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s1Zs9sgXLcn36hjzTipLwwA!2e0!6shttps://streetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com/v1/thumbnail?cb_client=maps_sv.tactile&w=900&h=600&pitch=3.6840628433392055&panoid=1Zs9sgXLcn36hjzTipLwwA&yaw=316.55098345403934!7i16384!8i8192?coh=205410&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MTAyOS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw== |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=Google Maps |language=en}}</ref>

RM1873 was converted into an antique tour bus in autumn 1990, with most of the roof retained. It was licensed in Hong Kong with license plate ES4007 and team number 2 but the market reaction was not as expected. Two years later, Citybus arranged to convert it into an open-top bus. RM1873 was withdrawn in 2010s after a fire had burnt the bus.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

In 1991, Citybus purchased RM1703 as bus #3 and retained most of the original Park Royal bodywork when it was released. It was converted into an open-top bus in 1992 and advertised the Peak Tram. After many years of service, the #3 was decommissioned and dismantled in 1999.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}

RM870 was purchased in 1991-92 but was scrapped in 1993 as it failed to pass the Transport Department's vehicle inspection.{{citation needed|date=November 2024}}
