RT & RTL Overnight in London

I spent last Saturday night in London on a Time Lines event, organised by Neil Cave, photographing RT2775 and RTL139 from the London Bus Museum. This was a rather less hectic event than the overnight event in February thanks mainly due to a lack of tourists. We ended up at Bank in torrential rain at silly o'clock! Well, it had to be done. My photos from the night can be seen here http://paulgildersleve.smugmug.com/...April/48909615_DQTd5w#!i=4021273706&k=KsLR39M

Proving my insanity I was at Watford the next day for a bus running day which was a quiet affair. My photos from that event can be seen here http://paulgildersleve.smugmug.com/...-2015/48910322_658RKr#!i=4021341566&k=698HGjG

Thanks for posting, I very much like these two shots in particular:

RT2775 and RTL139 in Threadneedle Street and RF673 at Chipperfield

Just curious about one shot of RMA58 as it shows standard LT 3 panel route destination configuration, is this a preservation addition or a LT modification?

I know a few RMA's ran in passenger service from Romford North St in the 1970's but I thought they only ever had paper route information in the nearside lower deck front window.

 

According to the excellent website "Ian's Bus Stop" http://freespace.virgin.net/ian.smith/buses/index.htm this vehicle was purchased by Verwood Transport of Poole during 1987 and fitted with a front box. Whether that front box is what we see today or if it was further modified to give the current appearance I don't know.

Paul
