A privileged peek inside a Beautiful, Classic, Vintage RT London Bus from 1954 (RT 4421)

Описание: Many, many thanks to the bus driver; for going out of his way in allowing me time to record this wonderful, magnificent bus.

Also a special thank you to "Ensignbus", the company responsible for maintaining and preserving this bus in such a pristine and original condition.

Video was recorded on 30th April 2014, whilst the bus was seen on bus number route 38 on Upper Street, Angel, London.

RT4421 entered service in February 1954 at Upton Park having initially been delivered to Romford. By October 1956 it was working from New Cross before moving on to Addlestone by December of that year. A brief period at Crawley ensued before the vehicle again retuned to New Cross and then Potters Bar before going back for overhaul. Following overhaul she spent longer spells at Peckham and then Croydon before moving to Amersham where she stayed until 1970. From 1970 until the end of her service life in 1976 she was working from Bromley, before being down graded to driver trainer duties at Bexleyheath until March 1978 when she was withdrawn and sold for scrap to Wombwell Diesels in Barnsley.
Saved from oblivion by Mr Andrews in Plumstead in May 1980 it passed onto Bill Boag of Grays in 1986 who later sold it to what became Arriva London, from whom it passed to Ensignbus in December 2001.
