The real RT 1170? There's a Saunders bodied RT still running round with the fleet number RT 1170 but with 4680's reg.
801 Rt. 1; an odd-shaped building that's currently a Staples. From far away I thought this might have been the Acme that was at this intersection, but once I was closer I could tell it wasn't (the roof is pointed only in the middle of the store, with the left and right sides flat). The Acme was actually about where Party City is now on the other side of Rt. 1; I didn't get a picture of it this time around.

Christmas greetings to everyone, and thank you for all for your kind comments over the last few months.
This was one of two RTs owned by Capital Radio. If you look closely at the platform, you can see what the elephant did to it!
The only Country route to lose RTs during 1973 was the 406 which was affected by the drafting in of RMCs, to Reigate and Leatherhead consequent upon the introduction of the final ANs of the 1972 batch at Grays. This occurred on 24th February 1973, but RTs did not leave the 406 completely, the Leatherhead allocation in particular continuing to feature these vehicles for three more years. Reigate RT 4496 (RG) is seen at Tadworth station on Monday 25th June 1973. F-4.

RLH47 also featured this poster as a reminder of the demise of route 178, the last to be operated by the type. Did Blu-tack* exist in 1971?

'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.
* other proprietary brands of temporary affixant are of course available.
