Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Routemaster 29s

There seems to a plethora of Routemasters running the 29 route today.

I just saw three pretty much simultaneously on Green Lanes.

These are wonderful, my grandad was also a London Bus driver, he became an instructor. He was on Blue Peter taking a bus on the skid pan at Chiswick. but I missed it due to watching Lost in Space on the other channel. I have tried to find the footage on YouTube, no joy so far. But I did get a Blue Peter badge.

To be extremely pedantic and busorak, Hugh, it's an RTL not an RT (it has a Leyland Engine as opposed to AEC one). It does indeed regularly run between Epping and North Weald- it's owned by London Bus Company, and that Company's owner also owns the Epping-Ongar preserved railway.....

Thanks Jeremy. My knowledge is as a schoolboy user and went no further than being able to identify an RM vs an RT. Your expertise is much appreciated.

(P.S. Any more books in the pipeline?)
