Reunited x2
RTs 4777 (R) and 4779 (L) were both originally Weymann-bodied green Country Area RTs, built in 1954 and stored until finally entering service in 1959. Both subsequently became red buses, RT 4779 ending up with another Weymann body and RT 4777 a Park Royal one. Coincidentally, both have been presented with the later LT light grey waistband (after cream and before white).
The second 'reunion' relates to me because RT 4777 is the one and only RT I have driven, and at a bus rally in the 80s. The evidence is here: www.flickr.com/photos/82097736@N00/39072195830/in/photoli...
Here the pair are at Hounslow bus station at the end of the route 81 running day organised by the London Bus Museum. www.londonbusmuseum.com/
