Sunbar ◊ 2010-09-24 22:11	Is it a AEC Routemaster in a (April) 1958 movie? Also I can see some differences, I think. An oil reservoir on the front panel (edit: or the radiator and bonnet?) and the size of the opening upper glass in the side window looks large? "The production Routemaster buses started to trickle off the lines at Southall (AEC) and Park Royal in May 1959, after RM8 in September 1958." source: Ian's bus stop site http://www.countrybus.org/RM Unless it is a prototype or test vehicle? edit, 2: The thumbnail No. 2 could also be the same bus - Side advertisement - "You can tell a Vantella Shirt". -- Last edit: 2010-09-24 22:29:36
Jale ◊ 2010-09-24 23:42	It IS the same bus (second capture is taken after - maybe - second).
john from Staffs ◊ 2010-09-25 09:12	This is clearly an RT of some kind, look at the position of the fuel filler, halfway down the bus and not just behind the front wheel, and you can see the top of the radiator. The front mudguard is the wrong shape for a RM as well.
Sunbar ◊ 2010-09-25 10:21	john from Staffs wrote This is clearly an RT of some kind,... In that case I believe its a Leyland RTW. The edge of the rear destination board in the thumbnail is not close to being in alignment with edge of the nearside of the lower deck rear window as on the narrow AEC RT.
john from Staffs ◊ 2010-09-25 11:47	I did wonder about the top of the radiator looking a bit squarer than an AEC, but the picture is very indistinct. I agree with your analysis that this is an RTW.
fsebus ◊ 2010-09-25 13:01	Effectivement, l' orifice situé près du garde-boue avant m' avait bien fait pensé d' abord à un RT, vu sa position, mais le même garde-boue ne me paraissait pas assez enveloppant,tandis que le capot du moteur (au-dessus) me semblait plus "RM" que "RT"...! La baie ouvrante me semblait plus RM sur la 1° photo que sur la 2° petite. J 'ai beaucoup hésité à choisir RM ou RT, car (surtout de nuit !!!) ce n' était pas si clair! J' avoue aussi ne pas avoir pensé à 1959 (pourtant une grande année!)pour les 1° RM en série, pensant 1958 juste dans les temps... Sorry !
Sunbar ◊ 2010-09-25 14:10	We have an agreement. All on board then - Hold very tight please... 'Ting-ting'
