Around Chiswick Works
In early 1979, Chiswick was a good place to capture on film the many RT trainers that were still active and were outnumbering the last few hanging on in passenger service. And whilst waiting for an RT to come along, service buses passed by and some of these were of interest. RM 32 was just a few weeks out of overhaul when I took this picture on 1 March 1979. It was one of many `bonnet numbers` released from the `float` system at Aldenham Works towards the end of 1978 which in some cases meant the reappearance of certain RM numbers that had disappeared for a few years to exist on paper only.
