As recently as 2014 I found several of this batch surviving and still at work, on sightseeing tours in Victoria, state capital of British Columbia - a long way from Derby! CRC245J was one which I photographed. Working alongside them were two of Derby's original batch of Fleetlines dating from 1965.
Yes some quite mundane buses go on to have long and interesting lives and of course we get to enjoy them more in old age.
