<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>3 x RT's and a service tender inside Amersham bus garage in 1956.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>RT3604, MLL 914, on route 402 to Sevenoaks and with an RLH for company. The location is Bromley North Station and I've been informed that the RLH was working route 410. Note the lack of advertising banners which suggests that the vehicle was nearly new when photographed.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Country liveried RT3862, LLU 661, on Greenline route 704 at Slough on 15/4/51.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Country liveried RT4109, LUC 458, on route 446 at Slough on 15/4/51.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>A pleasing array of Greenline RT's parked at Whipsnade zoo whilst awaiting the throngs to climb aboard for the lengthy journeys back to Baker Street in the centre of London.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>One of my own pictures taken with my Brownie 127 camera in 1956. Amersham garage plays host to RT?3906?, (LLU 685) and RLH2 (KYY 502).

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Probably photographed in 1949, ST1089 (KX 4656) is seen here on route 461 to Addlestone which it operated for only a short period of its life.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Lowbridge Short Bros. bodied ST163, GF 7215, originated with National and passed to the LPTB in 1933. It's seen here in 1950 at Watford whilst working on route 336 to Chesham which was its regular duty for may a year.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Roof-box STL1807, DLU 22, at Watford on route 335 to Windsor in 1950.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>One of my own Brownie 127 shots and sadly not one of the best. Post-war Weymann-bodied STL2699, HGC 232, parked out of the way at Hertford probably at the time of her withdrawal from London service in 1955..

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>February 1950 at Daniels scrap yard in Rainham, Essex which was inundated with redundant LT buses at various stages of demolition. I don't often 'bleat' but we're privileged to see any results from this 35mm film which is almost bicycle tyre thick, scratched to ribbons and poorly exposed in what was evidently low light. This shot features what appears to be a partially demolished 10STL6 which was one of the series of green front-entrance STL's. Perhaps the fact that it's such an enigmatic image emphasises that it's also a sad one.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>An undated view, circa 1950, of STL2659, FXT 382, on route 344 at what is probably Watford. There's a glimpse of a Craven RT at the right edge of the image.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>There's no doubting the location of this April 1951 view of Craven RT1427, JXC 190, as it appears to be heading into the confines of Windsor Castle.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Front entrance Country STL 973, BLH 820, on route 442 taken in April 1951 at what could be Slough.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Park Royal bodied D197 was one of the batch of Sutton Daimlers here depicted stationary in Oakhill Road, opposite Sutton Green, in 1953.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>This is possibly not the place to tell the full tale of RTL1307, LYR 935, but suffice to say that it and two RT's were refitted in early 1952 for an extensive summer tour of the USA and Canada during the ensuing summer months. This shot was taken shortly before their departure and a later upload will depict a frontal shot of the three of them lined up. RTL1307 was fitted out as an exhibition on the upper deck and as an office on the ground floor so to speak.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>That this is a bridge over the Thames is beyond doubt but I'm not sure which one it is although I suspect that it's Westminster with what appears to be County hall in the background. This is Standard STL930, CGJ 67, on route 163.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>This 1953 shot of Duple utility bodiedBristol B29, HGC 254, on route 97 to Ruislip must have been taken close to the bus's withdrawl date of April 1953. Location unknown but the handsome church is a clue and there's a pair of trolleybus wires visible at the top of the image.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>I was thrilled to come across this negative of the unique STL2477, ELP 154, even though the location isn't yet known to me. STL2477 was known as either the Meccano Set or the Sainsbury and spent its short working life with this one-off body based at ON (Alperton) garage. It's depicted here on one of it's regular turns, the 79A to Northolt Airport.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Leaning back STL461, AYV 622, saunters down Whitehall on route 77A to Raynes Park with a Dennis fire engine for company in 1953.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>A familiar sight on route 24 to Pimlico when this shot was taken in 1953 was the SRT class. Here we see SRT89, FXT 51, which was built in 1949 using the chassis from STL2603 allied to an RT9 body but there was only a year or so left on the chassis's calendar as she scoots down Whitehall.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Duple bodied Daimlers in Whitehall during 1953 but only the leading one, D89, is identifiable. They were all withdrawn from service during that year.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Whitehall provided rich pickings for the vintage bus enthusiast in 1953. This southbound route 77 example heading for Tooting is D127, GYL 292, which was a Brush-bodied example from 1945 and was withdrawn later that year.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>STD55, DLU 365, was a pre-war all-Leyland example seen here on route 183 to Golders Green in 1953 although I don't recognise the location.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>STL920, CGJ 56, was a Standard vehicle of type STL5 seen here at what could well be Romford whilst working on route 247A to Harold Hill Estate in 1953.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Here we see SRT150, EGO 407, which was built in 1950 using the chassis from STL2361 allied to an RT9 body and was rebuilt in 1954 to become RT4550. The scene here is probably a very busy Saturday afternoon in Romford with the featured bus on route 66A to Newbury Park Stn. A roofbox STL lurks behind!

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>I can't get my bearings with this shot (and a couple of others at the same location) but I think that the bridge in the background is Hungerford with STL1713, DGX 257, approaching Embankment. STL1713 was a roofbox STL bearing a NX garage plate.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Familiar territory for yours truly as I was brought up just about within walking distance of this location which is Mitcham Green although, in all honesty, I would probably have biked it. RT3783, NLE 890, on route 115 was evidently new when this shot was taken as it sports no adverts. There's an STL tucked in behind, probably on the 118, and the Morgan at the left edge of picture just rounds things off nicely.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Mitcham Green again but this time we see a route 80 to Colliers Wood being worked by D216.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>We move back to the east side of London to view this shot of SRT49, FJJ 751, working route 103 to Rainham the shome of that infamous graveyard for all thos vintage London buses seen elsewhere in this collection.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Is this Oxford Street? Saunders roofbox RT1362, KXW 461, on route 113 with what looks like RTW208 hovering behind it.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>RTL775, KYY 745, on route 24 to Pimlico. This looks like Tottenham Court Road but confirmation or otherwise would be appreciated.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>I'm sure that this shot will bring a smile to many viewers' faces although it did the opposite to mine as the negative's condition is execrable. This RM1, SLT 56, displaying route 2 on the indicator blind on show at Horse Guards Parade in July 1956 in conjunction with the LGOC Centenary Exhibition.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Leaning back STL469, AYV 651, on display at horse Guards Parade in July 1956 in conjunction with the LGOC Centenary Exhibition. The bus is still with us as part of the LT Museum reserve collection.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Not the best of shots technically speaking but worth including for its scarcity value. Epsom races duty in June 1949 brought a herd of redundant LT buses to the Downs which included LT727, GT 5160, of 1931 vintage.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>One of my own efforts with that Brownie 127 camera and quite an unusual view it is, too. RT1541 was snapped as it turned from Headcorn Road (Thornton Heath) into Goldwell Road whilst road works occupied its normal route down Galpins Road. My home at that time stands just 20 yards or so behind the camera.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>A 1950 shot of RT1642, KXW 264, on route 66 to Leytonstone as it passes Newbury Park bus garage.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>A nice line-up of early liveried RTL's awaiting their return journeys at Whipsnade zoo in the summer of 1950. The indicator blinds make interesting reading with the destinations visible being Clapham Common, Barking and Hammersmith Bdy.

Not the best of shots technically speaking but worth including for its scarcity value. Epsom races duty in June 1949 brought a herd of redundant LT buses to the Downs which included ST356, GK 3013, of 1930 vintage.

Not the best of shots technically speaking but worth including for its scarcity value. Epsom races duty in June 1949 brought a herd of redundant LT buses to the Downs which included Tilling ST850, GJ 2026, of 1930 vintage.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Another of those poor quality shots taken at Epsom Downs in June 1949 features STD95, DLU 405,in red and cream livery.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>STL1866, DLU 237, was one of the class specifically designed for use through the Blackwall Tunnel hence the dome shaped roof. Here we see STL1866's last rites in use a s a driver training vehicle snapped by yours truly at Uxbridge.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Country STL2061, DLU 61, at what someone once told me is Borehamwood.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Much to write about here. This is as fine a portrait as I've ever seen of a vintage London half-cab bus and it's made me realise just how few shots in my acquired collections depict the near sides of the vehicles.<br>The featured bus is an oddity in the form of STL2107, DLU 106, which was originally a roofbox bodied vehicle but was rebuilt in 1943 with a Chiswick low-bridge body. There were quite a few other STL's that acquired the same feature.<br>Les Darbyshire has kindly pointed out that the location is about as obvious as it could possibly be as the street furniture in the left background indicates that this is Imperial Drive in Harrow. He further states that STL2107 is on route 230, Rayners Lane to Northwick Park this being Harrow Weald garage's only lowbridge route.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>This is one of the few fairly good shots taken during the photographer's February 1950 visit to Daniels scrap yard in Rainham, Essex and features, coincidentally, another near-side shot of an STL. Although defined as a General STL this example, STL188 (AGX 531) was actually delivered new to the LPTB in 1933 and survived until February 1950.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>The wet road surface sets this picture off nicely with RT1643, KXW 265, leaning into the bend whilst working on route 25B to Victoria. A roofbox STL and an RTL complete the picture taken early in 1950, probably on the same day as that visit to Rainham, but the location isn't recognised here although I'd hazard a guesss at Forest Gate.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Halfway House in Enfield plays host to a variety of LT vehicles with RTW321, KXW 421, on route 150 taking centre stage. Note the queued up trolleybuses in the background.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Brush-bodied Daimler D69, GYE 58, on route 49 to Streatham Common in 1952. Location not recognised but I'll probably kick myself when someone tells me.

<u>London Transport double-decker bus</u><br>Now, what have we here? This is arguably the most interesting buses linbe-up I have. From left to right ......<br>A green STL<br>The derriere of an RT with an MLL registration and Ponders End Garage on the indicator blind. Is that, perchance, the location?<br>The unique Guy Arab III G436, KGK 981, displaying route 121 on its indicator blind<br>Roofbox STL2392, EGO 434, in driver training mode and last but not least<br>Pre-war STD96, DLU 406, also on driver training duties.

<u>Crosville Motor Services Ltd.</u><br>By now on briver training duties, this 1963 built Bristol FS6G with ECW H33/27RD body is registration 1205 FM and fleet no. B125. This would have originally been DFG125 but Crosville changed that to DFB125 when the vehicle was re-engined. Crosville dropped the DF (or whatever the previous two letters) were from all auxilliary vehicles, trainers included which explains the abbreviated fleet no. at this time.<br>My grateful thanks go to <a href=http://mudlark.fotopic.net/ target=_blank><u><font color=blue>Alan O.

<u>London Transport Routemaster</u><br>RM 1000, 100 BXL, outside South Croydon garage.

<u>London Transport</u><br>Routemaster RM 1 and DMS 1933 outside Thornton Heath garage and 1983 is the probable year.

<u>London Crusader</u><br>AN5, JPL 105K, is a Leyland PDR1A/1 Atlantean which was new to London Transport in 1972 and had many new leases of life in its career finally ending up being sold to Emblings, Guyhirn, for spares in 2007.

<u>London Transport</u><br>Daimler Fleetline DMS589, registered as MLK 589L, entered LT service in 1973 and went through many guises and owners before finally being scrapped in 1989 which suggests a quite short career span.

<u>London Transport</u><br>AN110, MPJ 210L, is a Leyland PDR1A/1 Atlantean which was new to London Transport in 1972 and is seen here on sightseeing duty in what must have been 1983 as it seems that it was used in this mode for only a single season.

<u>London Transport</u><br>Routemasters RM 1 and RM2 at an unrecorded bus rally.

<u>London Transport</u><br>AN196, XPG 196T, is Roe H43/30F bodied Leyland AN68A/1R Atlantean which was new to London Transport in 1979, was rebranded London & Country in 1989 in which guise it is depicted here, and was withdrawn from service in 1997. Tony Price informs me that the vehicle has just left West Croydon bus station , and is heading up Station Road towards the junction with London Road and West Croydon Station.

<u>London Transport</u><br>Daimler Fleetline DMS589, registered as MLK 589L, entered LT service in 1973 and went through many guises and owners before finally being scrapped in 1989 which suggests a quite short career span.

<u>London Transport</u><br>LT Routemaster RM1983, ALD 983B, entered service in 1964 and wore this special Golden Jubilee gold livery for only 10 monthsfrom 4/83 until 2/84. Ian's Bus Stop's wonderful web site contains considerable details concerning the bus's allocation during that period (TC; V; CA) but doesn't mention that SW (Stockwell) was also home for at least a short while. RM1983 is depicted here at what i would call the back entrance to Buck House.

<u>Maidstone & District</u><br>Bristol VR2 PKE 805M with fleet no. 5805.

<u>Manchester</u><br>GNF 8V was Greater Manchester fleet no. 4008, one of 15 Leyland Titans they took for comparator trials.<br>My grateful thanks go to <a href=http://mudlark.fotopic.net/ target=_blank><u><font color=blue>Alan O.

The slide can be dated to 1981 or 1982 because in the background is 81 (A520 MAN) which was a Leyland PDR1/1�with Liverpool's unique style of MetroCammell�H78F bodywork. It was new as Liverpool L746 (CKF 746C)�because IOMRS withdrew it in March 1982.<br>My grateful thanks go to <a href=http://mudlark.fotopic.net/ target=_blank><u><font color=blue>Alan O.

<u>Plymouth Corporation</u><br>WJY 760 is a 1962 Leyland Atlantean with fleet no. 460. The clue to its usage on this particular day is probably in the sticky labels.

<u>Denmark</u><br>Leyland EJ9 5018 but when, what and where?

<u>The Netherlands</u><br>A Dutch bus about which i know nothing despite the fact that I was resident there when the shot was taken. However, it bears no resemblance to any bus that operated where I lived at that time.

<u>Green Line</u><br>London Country fleet no. DV1, GPH 1V, is a 49 seater Duple-bodied Volvo B58-61 that entered service in 1981 and is depicted here taking a shower at what is probably Dunton Green bus garage circa 1984.

<u>Green Line</u><br>THX 616M was new to National Travel South East at Catford. It was an AEC Reliance with Duple Dominant bodywork.

<u>Eastbourne bus</u><br>Eastbourne Corporation owned a small fleet of antiquated open-toppers which were all named, unusually for buses, with the prefix 'The White' and they were all, as with most seaside open top buses, painted in that colour. In this 1950 view we see No. 77, JK 2335 <i>The White Princess</i>, leaning somewhat crazily to the curve in the road and with an incredibly interesting line of vehicles in its wake. The first single-deck vehicle is one of Southdown's legendary three axle buses which, thus far, seems to have not been photographed by either of the photographers' output I'm currently scanning and I'm none too hopeful of finding any such images. JK 2335 was a 1932 built Leyland TD2 which was converted to an open-topper in the Corporation's workshops in 1949 and she was withdrawn from service in 1954.
