AEC Regent III RT4712. The route is pretty much the same today as it was in the 1950s, except that it terminates at John Lewis rather than the British Museum. Westbourne Park Bus Garage Open Day

This bus was built in 1954. Westbourne Park Bus Garage Open Day

Routemaster RM2 was the second of the four prototypes ordered by London Transport. It was built at LT's Chiswick Works with the combined skills of London Transport, AEC & PRV. It was rapidly modified with changes as a result of the experiences with RM1 and was taken into LT's stock in March 1955. Westbourne Park Bus Garage Open Day

B2737 is one of four surviving B-type buses in known existence. It began service in January 1914 on Route 9 between Barnes and Liverpool Street. When the First World War broke out, it was commandeered by the War Department. It has now been restored with a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and the support of London Transport Museum Friends.

The only photo I took this day. It was sunny when I left Westbourne Park at 9:30 a.m. to head into the City, but cloudy when I arrived at the Museum of London to see the Cheapside Hoard exhibition. Torrential rain followed me from there to the Guildhall Art Gallery to Borough Market and the Hayward Gallery. It finally stopped as I walked home from the station at the end of the day.
