LT/LCBS street scenes
This would be so much better if it was in focus! Forty four years ago today, 23 April 1981, RM 1577 is passing St. Paul`s Cathedral and could well be on its first day back on the road following overhaul given the spotless condition of it. But is it working from Riverside or Dalston Garage? Had the running number been clearer we would know but if it was Dalston it would only be there for a few days prior to the new Ash Grove Garage opening two days after this picture was taken.
It`s a bus with a history of being on the 11`s given that two radio aerials can be seen to the rear of the roof which confirms the route control system used on the 11`s known as CARLA (computer and radio location aid). Prior to overhaul this bus had the identity of RM 1865 and that would have been based at either Riverside or Dalston.
