Finishing its service life


Having worked at Windsor and Leatherhead garages as a green bus and at Plumstead, Catford and Walworth as a red bus, RT4779 finished its service life at Harrow Weald, working the 140 to Heathrow Airport, west London's last RT route. With increasing interest in the last remaining members of the class, RT4779 was for once in its life well photographed. This picture is from Dave Jones' Flickr set, where there are a number of other fine shots.

Route 140 lost its RTs on 14 July 1978. RT4779 moved to Mortlake as a training bus for a year before being sold.
