The Classic RT design originally
entered service in 1939 and
150 of them served in London
during World War II. Production
resumed at the end of hostilities
and eventually 7000 of the buses
supplied almost the entire London
bus network.
They formed one of the greatest
standardised fleets ever assembled
in the world. Withdrawn from
London service by 1979 they
remain a timeless and nostalgic
link to a different way of life.
They were built to a pre-war
design and therefore have a
more dated appearance. This
bus entering service in 1949
and is only one of two known
survivors from this batch. It
returned to passenger carrying
duties after restoration in
January 2005, a break of nearly
50 years from the capital.
This is an ideal vehicle for
period scenes within the film
industry. Alternatively, this
bus attracts attention and favourable
comments should you choose to
use it for your wedding day
or special occasion. |
