Scrapyard Buses
I would guess that the majority of RT`s present at Wombwell Diesels when I visited on 25 May 1979 had been driven there from London as opposed to being towed. Some of the more recent arrivals - such as RT 2844 here - that hadn`t been deliberately damaged on site looked quite capable of going straight back into service. Quite bizarre to see cannibalised DMS`s and SMS`s being broken up in close proximity to completely intact RT`s. During my time on LT I`m not sure I ever saw a cannibalised RT that became an early candidate for withdrawal.......
