[edit]DescriptionTimebus RLH bus MXX 244 (1).jpg |
English: A modified preserved ex-London Transport bus, fleet number RLH 44, reg. MXX 244. Delivered new to London Transport in October 1952 in the green Country Area livery, it is an RLH (Regent Low Height) class lowbridge double-deck bus - an AEC Regent II with low height Weymann bodywork, and was used in the outer London country area routes. Delivered first to East Grinstead garage, it also service from Addlestone, Godstone, Reigate and Amersham garages, until spending the final few months of its service life at Guildford and Addlestone for the new London Country Bus Services, which took over the LT Country Area operations. In September 1970, LCBS withdrew it from service, and converted it to a mobile uniform store, given the departmental fleet number, 581J, and wearing the LCBS matt olive green livery. The conversion was carried out by Brewster's coachbuilders of Wrotham, and involved removing the seats, installing externally powered florescent lighting, installing perspex skylights, panelling over most of the side-windows and the rear platform door, and installing a new centre door. As a mobile store it would travel around all the LCBS garages, dispensing uniforms stored in the upper deck, to drivers via a counter installed in the lower deck, which they could try on for size in a small fitting room also in the lower deck. After being declared surplus as a uniform store vehicle in April 1982, having been replaced by a newly converted Leyland National (LNB 57), it then spent it's last few months with LCBS as a temporary office during building works at Stevenage garage. It was bought form LCBS for preservation in January 1983, keeping it in an all-over green livery and with LCBS fleet names. It passed to Timebus Travel in December 1990, who used it as a crew/storage bus, still in the same livery, but in the process gradually undoing some of the modification work by uncovering the front upstairs windows. In 2008, Timebus substantially renovated it, re-panelling the bodywork, reinstating more downstairs windows and the front destination box, reconfiguring the interior, as-well as repainting it into a Lincoln Green livery and white mid-line, and with Timebus fleet names. In this guise it is offered for private hire as "a control centre for outdoor events, or as a mobile venue at your organization's premises to hold small meetings, job interview sessions, or as a temporary office", as-well as a preserved bus for display at rallies and in other LCBS/LT running day events. It is pictured here in this guise during a bus running day in East Grinstead. |
