Nice 👍 to see all view that bus was so many diff styles I liked the ones with the back door where people used get on and have a conductor why not now is it because people used to jump on and of not paying when moving all times 😢😮

They were not disabled compliant, plus the open platform is against health and safety laws now sadly

Also, the cost of a two person crew.

Got to say, that looks really great to see, Routemasters, the RF, Swifts and Leyland PD 2 plus prototype RM2, what a day. Great stuff. As a child in the 1960s used to go on RMC route 718, Camden Town to Epping. What days! The only RF route I saw in service was where my nan lived at Lambeth North, Green Line RF 701/702. That RMC is such a handsome vehicle, they don't make 'em like that anymore!!!!

I lived in Chingford until I was 21, we used to go on the 718 Greenline to Epping to see my aunt and uncle until I was 8 years old, then my dad got his 1st car, a 1932 Morris 8!

The 406 was one of my local bus routes from 1943 (when I occurred!) -1970, together with the 406A when that was introduced in the mid-fifties; I can remember the STLs on it. I used them to get from Tattenham Corner to go to work in Kingston from 1961 (fare 1/8) but remember when the fare from Tadworth to Kingston was less than 1/-. It was good to get on an Express 406A; the RTs could then motor on the dual carriageway south of Tolworth. I didn't recognise many of the locations though! Many thanks for filming.

I would also add that there was never any breakdown, although it once came close. One day, from Tolworth on towards Kingston, the driver kept revving the engine hard. I was sitting near the back, so couldn't see whether the red flag in the cab was down. Anyway, just before The Railway Tavern, Surbiton, there was an almighty bang, following which the engine ran roughly and emitted clouds of exhaust. I then worked at County Hall, where I got off but the bus still pulled away towards the town and no doubt was subsequently failed. I still don't know what went wrong. Any ideas?

I went out to Nymans that day but I'd heard about the classic bus day. Old-fashioned London Country RMs and RTs are cool but I'd have been disappointed if I'd been waiting for one of those and one of those 80s junk heaps like that Metrobus showed up. I used to ride L&C buses from Croydon to Old Coulsdon when I was at 6th form there in the early 90s and remember the post-Olympian model you shoe about 3:30 - much more comfortable than the 80s buses were and less noisy.

Unfortunately I am old enough to remember going to school on a trolleybus replacement Routemaster, still great buses, they have stood the test of time.
