2014 New Routemaster Wrightbus LTZ1312 LT312 61312 and LTZ1313 LT313 61313 Stagecoach Strathtay: together at Arbroath.

Both Tayway Borismasters side-by-side now with route blinds fitted and Tayway adverts in place.

Following a number of breakdowns and passenger complaints both New Routemasters were withdrawn from timetabled services midway through their third week in service and were only be used "as duplicate vehicles as and when required."

The buses reportedly arrived at West Ham Garage London on 16 December 2014 but are currently the only two buses to be registered as new to a non-London company and therefore cascaded from Scotland to London for a change.
