RT4779 turns red (1969 to 1978)

RT4779 was repainted red in 1969, thus escaping being ejected from London Transport when the country buses became part of the National Bus Company in 1970.

It is seen in Peter Plummer's photo at the Dulwich terminus of the 176A, in September 1976 when based at Walworth Garage.
