Done to a T
Rod provides a bit of encouragement for 1929 single-deck T 31 to start. The bus has an AEC chassis and body built by the London General Omnibus Company at Chiswick. Petrol-engined and with a rear-entrance configuration, it was converted to front-entrance in 1931 and to diesel propulsion in 1950. It was sold in October 1956 and was the last ex-LGOC vehicle to be operated by London Transport.
Generally accepted as the first British bus acquired for preservation (cost £45), the bus was totally rebuilt, the body being converted back to rear-entrance and the oil engine replaced by an AEC petrol.
