Love the old sound of the old RTs and Routemasters Peter. I remember back in the day when the RTs ran on the 35 in Chingford before the Victoria opened in 1968, when I was just 5 years old, and on the 34 and 144 routes, and on Sundays these two routes ran on RMs. Hearing those sounds of these old buses bring back many happy memories!
The 65 was always my commuter bus from Kingston to Ealing. I must’ve spent about 4 weeks of my life sitting on the Scania’s the 65 normally used to run. Always loved it when they did heritage runs
Some beautifully smart vehicles. I do like the Bristol LH, surprisingly enough. Nice to see an RML in pre-First CentreWest livery. Why, I wonder, though, does RM 1400 have the registration number from RM 1398? I expect 400 CLT has been sold off for a tidy sum to someone desiring a personalised plate.
Something not quite right (no, not your work Peter), but on 2:35, Routemaster 398 CLT, carrying fleet number RM1400, should be RM1398. Not sure why it shows RM1400. The following RM in your film has 397 CLT carrying the correct number, RM1397.
There is a delay due to the charging facilities not being ready, so anytime within the next few weeks. The contract for the 307 is for electrics so that route will get priority. You MIGHT see one of the spare buses stray to another route but I think that will be rare
An amazing day. Such a privilege to ride these old girls. Especially the 1937 Vintage STL.
It was too hot for me to ride anything
Great video Peter. Nice selection of proper buses.
Thanks, and yes indeed
These buses were so AMAZING AND GREAT
Yes, they were
Me 2

Yes, lovely engine sounds
What i love about these buses are they’re actual buses. So much detail
Agreed

This is my first 65 heritage run
Nice video clip. The RTs were by far my favourites, the RMs ok, the others well best not said. I'm just an oldie.
@@DenisMalsher Thanks. RTs before my time in London, drove RMs, Ms and Ts onwards.

Thanks, always love an LH

Nice

Most odd, must be a reason for it?
No doubt the original number, 400 CLT, was sold for a tidy sum when it was withdrawn by LT to someone wanting it as a cherished number
@@AndreiTupolev That sounds logical
Peater do u know when the New Buses for the 307 are coming allso will they be used on other routes?

@@BristolREeah, the 132 has electrics at Bexleyheath and those electrics have never gone on any other route but the 132 since (unfortunately)
@@will_n775 When the 279 get electrics next year then there might be half a dozen spare across the garage so then you might get the odd one stray
@@BristolRE yeah
Good video Peter. Nice to see the old buses nowadays. Btw, I follow you on Instagram 😇
Thanks. I don't do a lot on Insta but hope to keep it ticking over
@@BristolRE Yhh 💯 keep up the amazing videos Peter ❤️
@@fearless_huseyin I will try, Thanks
