London Buses 150 years
Some pictures taken by the late Michael Cleary in July 1979.
The occasion was the 150th anniversary of the start of bus services in London. There was a rally in Hyde Park. Preceding that was a road run featuring numerous historic buses - all lead by the replica of the original George Shilibeer Omnibus of 1829 (that had been built in 1929).
Michael took pictures in Pentonville Road and at Kings Cross.
This is RMC4 - one of the 4 original prototype Routemasters and the only one that continued in normal service after the original trials.
