RT in photo marks the use of radiography on pipe weld testing, indicating a less accurate method of analyzing a weld was used rather than automated ultrasonic testing or AUT.
Very well presented RT 2177 (TB) stands at the Orpington terminus of route 94 in St Andrews Drive. Two months later the vehicle was withdrawn, but happily survives today in preservatioin. Monday 23rd May 1977. 3U-9.

RT1777 and RT1784 on display at Ash Grove Garage during the 'RT 75' celebrations. RT1784 shows the restricted blind displays that were common after the Second World War due to continued shortages of materials. It is blinded up for route 10, a route which disappeared many years ago (today's route 10 is a completely different animal) but at one time ran all the way from Victoria out to the Essex village of Abridge.

'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 4126 is heading for Dagenham (Fords Main Works) on route 148 but I don't know where. Note the double-fronted shop of W Hanmer Ltd (looks like a greengrocer's and I remember the name) and the tall aerial on the roof above the United Friendly insurance offices. The dear old UF is no more, just like RT 4126. Location anyone?
Is it Cranbrook Road, Ilford, south of Valentines Park (the trees of which may be in the background)? Afternoon shot, sun in the SW?
I kept it portrait 'cos I like the litter in the foreground.

As the RLH bodywork was an off-the-shelf Weymann design, it lacked the comprehensive blind displays of the RT family. With no rear aperture, just the route number was displayed in a stencil, hung in a holder attached to the lower-deck rear window. At 'RT 75' green RLH47 was blinded (and stencilled) up for route 178, on which it is known to have operated during 1959 and 1960; with just 24 red RLHs to cover four routes at widely-dispersed garages, green examples were loaned in from the Country Bus Division when necessary.
Route 178 was the last RLH-operated route of all, ceasing after 16th April 1971 when it was replaced by flat-fare route S3 and changes to routes S2 and 236. Its home garage of Dalston (D), along with nearby Hackney (H), was closed in 1981 upon the opening of Ash Grove Garage.

This was RT3238's first day back in public service since June 1972.
Seen in Bournemouth in May 1966 is FXT 318, a Trinidad Lake Asphalt tar spraying lorry which is not what it at first seems, since in 1960 it had been made from the chassis of one of the small number of "pre-war" London Transport RTs, RT 143. I believe that it survives today awaiting restoration. The photograph, like many of mine for the period, is rather out of focus, but I still think worth posting for both the subject and the background - such as the long white coat on what appears to be a traffic policeman opn point duty behind the lorry.
RT 3180 of Seven Kings garage is turning out of Argyle Road, Ilford into York Road where it will lay over until its next duty on route 129. Note the uninformative blind display for some reason used for this route until the advent of RMs. DMS 1866 of Walthamstow (WW) is in pursuit.
