In 1965 the first of a batch of 30 feet long Routemaster coaches entered service for Green Line work.
|
A number of RCLs - including RCL2244 here - were allocated to Windsor garage for the 704 and 705 routes across London to Kent. 2244 is seen laying over at Windsor Bus Garage's small bus station, not long after entering service.
|
 Two RCLs side by side at SHOWBUS International in 2001. RCL2233 (CUV233C) is reflecting its days on the 704 as 2244 is seen for real above. RCL2260 on the right is displaying one of its retirement jobs as a wedding bus. |
A better view of RCL2233 on its own.
|
 A year later and RCL2233 is seen alongside still active Stagecoach East London's RML2760 (SMK760F).
|
 The final RCL, 2260 (CUV260C), is seen working the 353 to Gerrards Cross as it leaves Slough Bus Station on the special Running Day in May 2006. Whether a Windsor RCL ever strayed from Green Line work on to the 353 back in the sixties is an interesting thought.
