Alexander ◊ 2005-11-04 19:46	It is a Routemaster built by AEC. In the grille you can see the AEC triangle logo.
sixcyl ◊ 2005-11-05 00:17	yes but the last models built were Leyland weren't they?
Alexander ◊ 2005-11-06 23:38	Those busses were made by AEC and Leyland at the same time. It is the same here: /vehicle_11231-Leyland-RTL-1948.html
SteveA ◊ 2005-11-10 21:42	Not strictly correct. The Routemaster was an AEC design, and was badged throughout its production run as an AEC, although by the time the last were built Leyland owned AEC and many Routemasters were Leyland-engined. The relationship between the RT family buses is different: the RT class was a version of the AEC Regent III built for London Transport. The RTL class was a version of the Leyland Titan PD2/1, but the body was interchangeable with that of the RT. Both these buses were 7 foot 6 inches wide; the RTW class was an 8ft wide equivalent based on the Leyland Titan PD2/3

It had a long London life entering service in 01/1962 at Stonebridge Park. After overhaul in 09/1966, it had a short spell at Putney then went to Norwood in 11/1966 and stayed there until 09/1973 when it went for another overhaul. Like most other RM's it received a body from another of the type, then went into service at Battersea. It then received another body at overhaul in 06/1978 going into service for a short spell at Catford. It then went to Peckham. Following yet another overhaul, it went to Clapham in 12/1983. After Clapham, it was Camberwell from 05/1986, then to Victoria, it's depot when seen here, in 01/1993. It was withdrawn just a couple of months after when this photo and sometime later, passed to PVS(dlr), Carlton, quite apt for it's registration, however, it survived being scrapped and passed to Bluebird, Middleton, in 02/1995 but was not used.
