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.
On the weekend of 24-26th April 1971, London Country took over town services in Crawley formerly operated by fellow NBC subsidiary Southdown, whose local garage was closed. Five services changed hands and the bulk of the acquired operations were covered by Swifts, RT's also figured two additional RTs being drafted in. Four years after these changes, RT 3502 (CY) waits in Crawley bus station on town service 405B. Tuesday 22nd July 1975. 2R-10.
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.

'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.

A line-up of RT-family vehicles on display at Ash Grove Garage during the 'RT 75' celebrations. Inclulded in the line-up is former St Helens no. 67; although many operators bought second-hand examples from London transport, St Helens Corporation was the only operator to buy them new. No. 67 is preserved at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum in Lathalmond, Fife, and representatives brought to bus all the way down to London to participate.
Nearest the camera, RT2688 is blinded up, rather appropriately for the event, as route 75; it also carries 'RT 75' garage code and running number plates, although in reality there has never been a garage coded 'RT'. Route 75 was for most of its life operated by Catford Garage, which coincidentally celebrates its centenary in 2014 and will stage an open day on Saturday 10th May. Route 75, which has been operated by Metrobus' Croydon Garage for the past five years, returns to what could be considered its spiritual home, two weeks before that date.
