At 1.21.42, at the North Weald Rally 2004, the far left hand double decker looks like a Southdown bus. I was born and brought up in Worthing, and was (very sad!) a bus spotter for a few years in mid 1960s. That bus looks like one that was an oddity in maybe 1965/66 - BUF257C if I remember right. It was different to the rest of its class - wrap around windscreen - and it was a trophy spot! (I know, its very sad but you grow out of these things eventually - or not!)

I recall going into London with my grandparents on days out and travelling on the route masters many times. Good memories. Great to see the overhaul of the buses something that i never knew happened (before my time though) and all the work that went into the overhaul. Such an icon of Britain and good to see these being looked after by museums and enthusiasts. Can you still ride on one in London? I think.. Thanks for the great content in this video.

The bus routes operated by the green buses in the 'country' outside London were part of the London Transport Country Area services. The long-distance coaches linking towns on the outer edges of the Country Area via central London were the Greenline coach services operated, too, by London Transport. The 'roofbox' body carried by RTL453 at the end of its working life in London was classified a 'RT3' (type of) body - later bodies omitted the roofbox and the route number was removed adjacent to the 'intermediate' destination screen. It was NOT the body from RT3 itself.

RTLs were fitted with roof box bodies towards the end of their lives, with the none roof bodies going on RT's, hence enabling a greater degree of standardisation.

I looooove so many of the buses but the blue and white one at 19:40 is my fave. Sort of a Jessica rabbit meets delahay look.

A Leyland Tiger PS1. There are many videos of buses on You Tube. Here's one about bus destruction. It's quite graphic. They used to smash them to pieces with sledgehammers and then burn the frames. kzitem.info/news/bejne/xah7maCdmoaYh3Y

North Birmingham Busways stated they bought their first 5 vehicles from Blackpool Transport. The buses in Blackpool ( in those days were green and cream). Did NBB simply keep Blackpool colours to avoid expensive repainting?? Any info?

It is incorrect to say that the chassis and body of the RM's were interchangeable this was only possible with the RT.
@robertrich663

The RM didn't have a chassis, it was monocoque, with front & rear subframes, which were interchangeable. The vehicles registration number belongs to the front subframe, not the body.
