21 april 2013 - Brooklands, Surrey (GB) – London Bus Museum. An AEC Regent 1 of 1936, this bus was used in London Transport’s country area (green buses) as STL1470 until 1953, when it was replaced by one of the many RT types then coming into service. It then spent another ten years in LT service as a ‘tree lopper’, moving around the network to deal with overhanging trees where double deck routes operated. The unusual door arrangement (or lack of a door, actually) is exactly how it was when the bus was in passenger service.
