London Transport

The FRM

In 1966 FRM1 (KGY4D) took to the streets of London as the potential successor to the Routemaster. Its designation suggested its design brief as a forward entrance Routemaster. The project never proceeded and LT went on to buy 'off the peg' buses - initially the Daimler Fleetline (type DMS).
