Taken at Chigwell Row in 1971. RT 4049 with driver. I wonder if there is anyone from Seven Kings Garage who can remember him? This bus stand is still there; but is not used by any buses now. It is part of a road into a housing estate. The buses used to go through the pub car park and just as you exited , on the right there was a watering can and water tap which was kept locked up. On a hot summers day the climb from Hainault to Chigwell Row could cook a RT: if fully loaded with passengers for Hainult Forest or the Guide camp near by. The steam from the radiator cap just blew into the drivers cab.
The ON The Buses program Reg Varney caricature was based on this bus driver.
On 21st May 1977 a further omo conversion involved route 229 worked by Bexleyheath and Sidcup with RTs. In a complicated arrangement also involving route 51 and 51A, themselves not long since converted from RT to RM - the 229 was split up. Sidcup retaining a section of it, but using RMs with Bexleyheath receiving DMS's for new route 269. Three days before the changes, RT 4567 (SP) is seen in Murchison Avenue, Albany Park, itself a road not now served by buses. Wednesday 18th May 1977. 3T-11.
The rarely seen RT 2114 LYF 169.
As it's parked against a steep bank could not get a better shot.
This bus has not been used for many years and has a damaged N/S rear. It carries a late Park Royal RT 8/2 body new to RT 4815. DMS 1485 is to the left and RT 4705 also unused for many years is to the right.
Sunders bodied RT 1320. At the time looking quite good, however, 30 years later, www.flickr.com/photos/57141830@N08/13200614065/in/photoli...
Shaftesbury and District's RT 1396 is seen in Station Drive, Barking on the day London bade farewell to the RT. Saturday 7th April 1979. 4Z-4.
Approaching Barnet Hill with Art Deco style petrol station in the background. There was a car showroom to the right of the photo and I think it was a Rover dealership.
Barking's RT 4021 in Longbridge Road, Barking six months before the end of RTs in London. Wednesday 20th September 1978. 4N-4.
Crystal Palace is a busy hub for routes terminating from all parts of the South West and South East London. RT 531 (AM) waits to return on the 122 to Bexleyheath. Sunday 28th March 1976. 2X-15.

I didn't even catalogue this shot, but I've realised that it's quite rare. RT 191 on training duties when owned by Ted Brakell. The bus is still with us.
This was one of the RTs used on our three bus tour back in 77. It was painted a lighter shade of green, not that you can tell here.
On a number of Sundays throughout 2006 Blue Triangle registered three services which between them stretched from Epping to Witham via Harlow, Dunmow and Braintree. This was a handy way of giving a little exercise to their remarkable fleet of historic buses (Ensign helped out too). A couple of short workings terminated at the former Easton Lodge Halt - where they reversed into, of all things, a banana packing factory! Here RT 3062 does the honours.
NE81 oder doch O405GN?
Jedenfalls ein echter Hingucker wo immer man ihm begegnet.
RT-AB 801 zeigt sich gut zur Hälfte im Design eines NE81.
