Scrapyard Buses
When I visited Wombwell Diesels on 25 May 1979 there was an obvious progression of destruction among the vehicles present culminating in totally broken barely recognisable buses in the middle of the site. Before that were buses just starting the breaking process and before that, near the entrance, were the most recent arrivals. Representing the latter category is RT 3254 - one of several that had been among the last to run in service at Barking Garage. The bonnet plate is missing - predictably - but that provides a point of interest in that the green paint is relevant to this being one of thirty four RT`s bought by LT from London Country in 1972 to offset a vehicle shortage.
