Description: | The R.C.L.-type coach was a longer version of the famous Routemaster bus and was specially built for long-distance express Green Line services. It included a larger engine, doors on the platform, luggage racks, air suspension and more comfortable seating.
After operating in the Romford area, R.C.L.2229 was withdrawn from normal service and used for two years as a training vehicle. Later, it was converted into a regular bus minus its doors.
In 1985 it was chosen by London's Transport Museum for preservation. Restoration included the seats being re-upholstered in the original grey, red and black striped moquette, and the doors being re-fitted. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport | Temporal: | 1965 | Source: | London Transport Museum | Creator: | OCManufacturer : Associated Equipment Company | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
