Description: | This drawing shows outside views and the interior layout of an R.T.-type double-decker bus. It illustrates the front, rear, nearside and offside views and seating plans of the lower and upper decks.
The bus illustrated is a 56-seater, but the first production model had only 55 seats.
The first R.T.-type bus entered service in 1939, but further production was temporarily halted during the Second World War. As a result of London Transport engineering experiments carried out during the war, further improvements were made to the design of the R.T.s. With a production run of 7,000 vehicles, the R.T. had the largest standardised fleet of buses ever seen in London and possibly the world. | Format: | image/jpeg | Publisher: | London Transport Museum | Rights holder: | Transport for London | Subjects: | Transport London at War | Source: | London Transport Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | image/jpeg | Go to resource |
