RT 604
By 1976 London Country was if anything in an even worse state than London Transport. Route 492 had been OPO since 1970 - but that didn't stop them putting an RT out on the route - presumably on the basis that at least RTs could be persuaded to keep going unlike the lines of rear-engined tat that gathered dust against the garage wall.
Here is RT 604 swinging round the corner at Sidcup station, approaching the terminus.
RT 604 later found by being painted into into National Green, thereby becoming the only bus in Britain that looked good in this colour. It survived until 1978 and is now preserved.
