Around 7000 vehicles comprised the RT family, 4825 AECs (RT), 2131 Leylands (RTL & RTW)
They served London in the post war period for up to 40 years
Seen at Crowthorne on a very wet day in 97 are no less than 4 route-box RTs,
second one in from the right is rare pre-war RT113 (FXT288).
|
Seen at Crowthorne again, is RT3496 (LYR915) alongside Red Rose's Willowbrook Warrior Bedford
rebody on a Q plate. Both purport to show blinds for the same route between Aylesbury and Watford.
The Warrior is sadly no more having been burnt out in a depot fire in Aylesbury in the summer of 99.
|
RT3496 is seen again, but this time at Milennium Showbus, in the company of RT3435 (LYR854), which has been
decapitated.
|
RT3491 is seen at Showbus 75 at Hillingdon, yet another 'LYR' registered RT, this time '910'.
|
 The summer of 74 saw Alder Valley desperately short of functioning vehicles. A sizeable contingent of London Country RTs were hired alongside a host of other buses to keep services running. Nearest the camera in this line up in Reading is RT3253 (LLU611) in LT colours, alongside the Aldershot & District liveried Loline dragged up from the south is another RT with LCBS yellow insignia. |
