This bus No.9 (MRT 9P) named Phillipa Jayne, is a Leyland Atlantean AN68/1R with Roe 72-seater bodywork, which entered service in 1975 with Ipswich Borough Transport. It was converted to open-top in the early 1990s and is now preserved. The destination board showing route 422 Bexleyheath refers to the Stagecoach London route which currently runs between North Greenwich Station and Bexleyheath via Blackheath, Charlton, Woolwich and Plumstead. It is one of several vehicles on display at an Open Day held at Barking Bus Garage.
