Thanks for this trip down memory lane. I studied at Ealing Technical College in the early 70s and used to regularly travel home for the weekend, starting on the 65 from Ealing to Surbiton station. Cost; 10p! Sometimes friends and I would go out on Saturday to Chessington Zoo, thus doing the whole route. In those days there was a cap on the fare of 12p, so that was the price, as long as you didn't change bus. What value for a bus trip of well over an hour.
I don't know if there is going to be a similar event this year. I always keep my eye on the Events Diary website - www.www1.classicbuses.co.uk/++Events-diary.html Vic

Some rather beautiful footage of the yesteryear RTs, makes a nice contrast with the event's offerings that day!

What was the problem with the bloke on STL 2377 at around 2m 10s? Why the V sign? Spoils an otherwise good video.
I suppose some people are just camera-shy?
@vckallen So why make himself stand out? Just turn away. No need to make such a gesture.
