I've not been very well today though an unexpected sight on a last minute visit to Asda,Gorseinon was Swansea Bus Museum's splendid RT KXW 495.Seen here at Mynydd Garnllwydd Rd,Gorseinon,just before the Asda entrance I gather that the old girl had been at Pontarddulais Show today.Anyway she ,cheered me up no end this afternoon.Not a perfect pic though I thought I'd share it all the same !!
A lineup of various RTs celebrationg the 40 years since the last operation.
Funnily enough, there were more RMs than RTs at Brooklands
Bought by the hospital in 73, it was next sold in 98 and again in 2001 after which it was wrecked while filming. Its final use was a source of spares.
A three man recon team patrols a beach scouting for Covenant activity. Recon ODST's are a dangerous breed, some comparing them to old school SEALs, and SOG. Keeping with that comparison, the recon teams have named themselves after planets in the colonies, whereas the teams of old named themselves after States, or hardware tools depending on the recon company. This shot is Recon Team (Rt) Reach
RT 3336 (SP) stops in Loop Road on Chislehurst Common working route 228. Such was the circuitous nature of the route that Eltham was actually behind the vehicle! Tuesday 4th November 1975. 2V-12.
Although the numbers of RTs in passengers services was dwindling fast by 1970, several examples remained in service as driver trainers throughout the decade. RT1777 has been preserved as a typical example of a 1970s driver-trainer, complete with prominent advertising attempting to persuade Londoners to become bus drivers. The RTs were eventually replaced on these duties by Routemaster coaches bought back from London Country Bus Services, where they had been made redundant by the almost-universal spread of driver-only operation.

'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.
As the light fades the lights of RT 1334 shine brightly. The bus is from Barking garage (BK) working a 148 to Leytonstone - the route was operated mainly by Seven Kings (AP) but Barking had a handful of duties (during the week at least).
I don't know where this shot was taken. Can anyone help? Casidy2 can - see below.
Another reminder of London transport's substantial Country Bus Division operations, which included the Green Line network of (mostly) cross-London limited stop services. RTs often operated 'relief' journeys on these to provide extra capacity where needed. Some RTs even appeared in Green Line livery, although internally they were standard buses. RTs 3254 (in Green Line livery) and 4779 are blinded at reliefs on the busy 716 route which in its entirety ran from Hitchin to Chertsey. 3254 also carries a slipboard advertising the usefulness of the route as a way of getting to Hatfield House, the former home of Queen Elizabeth I and the place where she learned of her accession to the English throne in 1558.
