Almost the last run. I was using bulb flash at the time as the electronic sort weren't much good at night.
The bonnet number of AEC Regent III (RT) bus, RT3228 (KYY 957) is seen whilst the bus is parked at North Weald Station.

Standard AEC RT1702 lined up with Leyland PD2s RTL1076 and RTW185 at the 'RT 75' display of RT-family buses at Ash Grove Garage on Saturday 12th April. The RTLs had Leyland PD2 chassis and engines, but their bodywork was to the same specification as the AEC RTs - the most noticeable visual difference being the Leyland radiator.
The RTWs were equally very similar to the RTLs, but here the difference was that they were built to an 8' width following a change in regulations to allow wider buses. 500 entered service during 1949 and 1950.

'RT 75' is the first of the '2014 - Year of the Bus' celebrations, and marks the 75th anniversary of the entry into service of the first RT-types on route 22.
The event featured a number of runs by RT-family vehicles between Piccadilly Circus and Homerton, which was once part of the 22 route. Some buses also ran to and from Ash Grove Garage, where there was also a display of RT-family vehicles, including an ex-St Helens example which had come down all the way from the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum in Lathalmond, Fife.
RT 604 seen at the East Grinstead Country Bus Running Day in 2005. RT 604 was one of three London Country RTs painted into NBC 'leaf' green (I have heard this colour described otherwise).
I just loved RTs (still do really...) and was seriously saddened at the time that their days were very much numbered. So I took relatively uninteresting pictures just for the record. Which is why this is the somewhat battered rear of Barking's (BK) RT 1983 which, while working route 87, is waiting to turn right from South Street into Western Road, Romford.
1977/8.
