RT 1018 (CM)
On July 9th 1977, route 403 was officially converted to RCL operation using vehicles displaced from Grays by the arrival of new BT class Bristol VRs, but in practice there were insufficient RCLs available and a mixture of RTs, RMCs and Maidstone Atlanteans remained. RT 1018 was finally relegated to a training vehicle in September 1977 leaving RT 604 as the sole RT left in passenger service with London Country. RT 1018 is seen five months earlier laying over in Chelsham garage forecourt alongside a Leyland National. Saturday 16th April 1977. 3N-12.
