RM1368 (368 CLT)
AEC Routemaster/Park Royal B28RD
Preserved, ex London Transport
Buckinghamshire Railway Centre, Quainton, 29 May 2006
Single-deck RM1368 must be one of the most famous Routemasters. Its story has been well told elsewhere but to summarise it was involved in a fire at Tottenham garage in 1974 and as the damage was confined to the upper deck, instead of scrapping it was cut down into a single-decker. It didn't re-enter passenger service in this form but was allocated to the experimental department at Chiswick Works replacing RM8. It has been through several subsequent owners but is now fully restored and active on the rally scene.
