RT buses lined up on the Embankment. Last night of Routemasters in London
The Palace of Westminster is in the background.
Another refurbished RT - No. 2544 arrives at the terminus at Becontree Heath on route 150 on 25/4/72. This route went OMO in Oct'76. The result of the building work shown in the preceding shots can now be seen.
Wtihdrawn in 1979 it later became a mobile burger bar in Devon. It returned to London in the 21st Century, but was broken up at the Woolwich Tranport Museum in 2002. RT 1400 is parked next to it.
The NBEC Ultramar Tank Train crosses Rt. 126 in Chatham Head, NB on the Loggieville Spur. December 29, 2003.
The 40a was a rather obscure Mon-Fri only service between Herne Hill and Poplar/North Woolwich. It was never supposed to have RTs on it and it was completely withdrawn in 1978. This is the unlovely Poplar stand, above the Blackwall Tunnel entrance.
For my last 2010 upload I am returning to my first location. Here is Romford Market Place (St.Edwards Church) on a quiet Sunday, 17/3/68. RT1619 (KLB741) is at the stop for route 87. These were the days before ring roads and traffic-free areas - soon Romford was to lose its Market Town atmosphere under the heavy hand of the London Borough of Havering.

Another RT 165 route shot with RT2571 passing through an Autumnul Harrow Lodge Park in Hornchurch on 17/10/70.
With the impending removal of RTs from Catford and Bromley garages south-east London came in for a bit of attention.
Loading up with Croydon-bound shoppers. The newspaper stuffed at the bottom of the windscreen suggests a lack of draught sealiing!
This is my 5th version of the AT-RT and finally one that I am happy to post online. I have gone through a lot of iterations and failures to get to this point.

Monday morning on the way to work on Long Beach Island. It had stopped raining but the road was still wet and the sun light breaking thru the clouds in spots made the road shine on this long, straight stretch of 539.
Shot with my phone, thru the windshield.
Parked at the former trolleybus stand on Wangey Road, 3251's conductor, Alan Money chats to his driver. I seemed to encounter Alan every time I came east before moving permanently in 82. He's now involved with several preserved vehicles. The bus is also preserved, being one of the Romford Green Line batch.
Not the best shot ever, but 3234 has been tarted up for the last rites and was tearing round Harrow with staff on board in celebratory mood.
My only shot in Collier Row - RT2719 amid the Autumnal trees on 12/10/68.
From my "Romfords Buses"book.
Smile please! I'll have to try and find the names of the crew. I Know the inspector on the left is Norman Harford, last heard of on the District Line.
Bromley to Brixton via...Trafalgar Square - and why not? To catch a an RT on a night route. These days the place would be swarming with drunken clubbers, back then it was eerily quiet.
By this time I was working at the bus offices on Grosvenor Gardens, so had plenty of lunchtimes to look out for the the varoius RTs that returned to central London service. This one lasted another year.
