Around Chiswick Works
Parked up at Chiswick Works on Saturday 7 February 1982 are RMC 1477 that forty years on would be seen in preservation wearing Green Line livery and Skid Bus RT 1530 newly repainted and forty years on is in preservation. No such long term future for RMC 1470 as a close encounter with the wall of the Training School building the following year put paid to any prospect of surviving into preservation. Several parts from it were rescued for use in the restoration of RCL 2229 for the LT Museum so perhaps some of RMC 1470 is still with us!
