I was messing around today and decided to try my hand at an AT-RT. As you probably know, I'm a real stickler for scale, especially with Starwars.
This route really ran through some country areas even though only a few miles from Romford. At Bournebridge on 12/10/68 is 'Top-Box' RT 3696, still with its cream cantrail, dropping off two passengers. The 175 route went through unusual allocation latterly , using RMA's in late '75 , back to RT's then eventually RM's in '77.
From my Buses of Outer London-Essex book.
The annual Ensign Running Day took place on Saturday 4th December 2021 after missing out 2020. It was better than ever, with an extra route (now 4 in total) and it was sunny for a lot of the time. Many thanks to Ensign and all the volunteers who made it happen.
The St Helens RT poses in the morning sun at Gravesend on the X55 to Upminster - taking in the Dartford Crossing and two shopping centres - Bluewater and Lakeside! This 1952 bus spent some time with Harper Brothers of Heath Hayes.

London Bus Company Leyland PD2 RT KGK575 RTW75 at Epping station on the 339 heritage service to Ongar, 22.10.17.

RT2565 passes another RT (with another in the distance) in Cranbrook Road, Ilford on the 129 route on 7/5/74. This street seemed to contain various clocks. The 129 route went over to OMO in Oct'76.
A bit of Saturday bunching. Both buses survive, 4633 in Belgium and 3254 in original Green Line from.

The 102 only had modern buses at weekends at this time, otherwise 17 RTs provided the entertainment. 3467 finally went in early '79.
In a sorry state but the radiator badge and bonnet plate appear to have been saved.................do you have them?
Until I came across these pictures, and researched the details, I'd forgotten that for much of 2001 London route 492 was sub-contracted by London Central to Blue Triangle.
Roger Wright doesn't need much of an excuse to use an RT, so on 7th April 2001, RT3871 put in an appearance.
This is Sidcup Station. The 'Bluewater Park' destination didn't last long before 'Park' was dropped. It is after all yet another sodding shopping mall and not a park.
This wasn't the first time an RT had operated on the 492!: www.flickr.com/photos/9003948@N05/6871638861
'Nothing for half an hour then eight come along together'. RT 2541 (BK) and seven others in a cavalcade of buses over route 62 on the last day of RT operation in London. Saturday 7th April 1979.
4Z-23.
The 89 took a rather circuitous route from Lewisham to Eltham via Blackheath, Welling, Bexleyheath, Bexley and Blackfen. Bexleyheath garage lost its RTs to DMSs on this route from 22nd April 1978. RT 1586 (BX) pulls away in Bexley Road, Blackfen. Wednesday 26th February 1975. 2H-4.

KYY 957 putting in a day shift working between Shenfield Station and Epping Station. Stops at Ongar Station and North Weald Station for the Epping Ongar Railway service. But these London Bus Company vehicles were also picking and putting down passengers for other stops by request on the route. Photographed here in Hutton Road, Shenfield, just across the road from Shenfield Station, Essex.
1950 AEC Regent III, RT 3228.
Another view of the Lesney Products yard at Hackney Wick taken the same day around 1979 as the previous upload shows ex LT RT's KGU413, LUC291, MLL704, KXW424, MXX41 & NLE***?
I think the eleven or so RT's visible in these two views were the last of a much larger fleet that had been operated as staff transport between their factories for very many years.
No more Matchbox RT's I'm afraid but a few more former London Transport buses in new colours to follow over the next few days.
