DMS2264 (OJD 264R), an MCW-bodied Leyland Fleetline FE30ALR delivered new to Sheperd's Bush garage in August 1977. After being withdrawn and transferred into storage at Fulwell in November 1991, it passed to Mulpeter (Haven Bus), Newhaven, in June 1992, before returning to London when acquired by the Blue Triangle operation at Rainham in February 1994. It would, however, only serve there for a month before being withdrawn, and was purchased by Euston Films in November of that year for use in the filming of London's Burning, as seen here. In February 1995, it returned to service in the capital once again with The Big Bus Company, although this time around converted to open-top configuration. It would be sold on for scrap in May 2002 and had been fully dismantled by September 2003. |

As you can see, the work of converting it to open top was begun by the London's Burning stunt team. |
