Description: | Prototype R.T. buses had been developed in the late 1930s, but the start of the Second World War had halted production. The first of the modified R.T.-types came into widespread use in London in 1947, after the end of the war. They eventually replaced London's trams, the last of which were withdrawn from service in 1952.
This photo was taken in 1952 and shows an R.T.-type bus in traffic on London Bridge. This bridge was dismantled in 1967 when the current bridge was built. It was sold and re-erected in Lake Havasu City, Arizona. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport Cityscape | Temporal: | Jun 1952 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
