Route 101
This London route has changed a bit over the years, but in its day it was the most frequent route in London, as it served the Royal group of docks. The peak headway maxed out at 60 buses per hour!
On Saturday 26th March the London Bus Museum organised an intensive service over the route using a large number of preserved buses, the majority being RTs.
The star of the day was Guy Arab G351. The 101 was allocated these buses from 1945 to 1952.
This particular bus operated in London from 1945 to 1953. It then went to Burton on Trent until 1967. It was then preserved.
The driver was no less than former Transport Commissioner for London Leon Daniels. He drove it very well too!
This is North Woolwich.
