Lateef ◊ 2024-02-24 17:43	I think it's more of an AEC Regent, but I'd like the usual experts to chime in.
UKboy205 ◊ 2024-02-24 17:46	Either Kudos or 3asv6 might know this
Lateef ◊ 2024-02-24 17:47	I was thinking about johnfromstaffs and SteveA actually.
UKboy205 ◊ 2024-02-24 17:51	Fair enough then
3asv6 ◊ 2024-02-24 23:03	It can also be a Leyland Titan PD2 7RT...
johnfromstaffs ◊ 2024-02-25 09:05	The position of the route display looks AEC Regent III RT to me, a RM would have a smaller less deep display above the door opening. The Routemaster has three half drop windows on the top deck, not two, and the rear number plate is centrally located, not on the right. The parking meter in the picture, however, presents difficulty in that it obscures a view of the fuel filler, if present. What can be seen of the shape of the front mudguard is inconclusive. Not sure how you could put a firm identity as an RTL. https://www.ensignbushire.com/aec-regent-iii-rt3251.html https://www.hattons.co.uk/directory/vehicledetails/1002925/aec_routemaster -- Last edit: 2024-02-25 09:53:43
