Bearing in mind the date of the picture, the two buses on the left nearest the camera are most probably AEC Regents with STL class coachwork, and the bus with the Schweppes advert is probably an AEC Renown with LT class coachwork of the later fully enclosed staircase variety. The bus at the back on the left is a problem, since it looks like an early RT, over to the experts. |

Victory parade 8/5/1945 ? Plausible, vu la foule, et les nombreuses fenêtres remplacées par du bois peint suite au effets des bombardements ou manque de vitres. Tous les bus de gauche me semble tous des AEC STL (cabine de conduite et baies anguleuses, plus arrondies sur RT) Il n'y avait pas bcp de RT avant 1944 (151 construits en 1939-40) Je penche aussi pour un AEC LT (3 essieux) à droite, plus long (7 à 8 baies à l'impériale) |

The bays on the bus at the back look longer, but it then occurs that the angle to the camera is different, so there is no foreshortening. There is also no driver's door on the cab, so maybe a good case to say it is also an STL. Certainly, the London (and other cities') buses suffered from hard work, reduced maintenance, and material shortages during WW II, as well as the damage caused by the actions of war. -- Last edit: 2008-08-08 19:00:35 |

I agree with fsebus that the three buses on the left are STL (or STD) types with 5-bay lower deck windows. RTs were 4-bay design (apart from the postwar Cravens RTs which were 5-bay). Nice capture! Neil F. |
