RT1599 and RF366 pause at Reading services on the way to the event

Rear blind display from an RT. London Transport liked to give a lot more information than most operators

Aldershot and District Dennis Loline, AAA503C...

...and similar-looking AVX975G, an Eastern National Bristol Lodekka. The Dennis Loline was in fact a version of the Lodekka licensed to Dennis.

Southdown Leyland Leopard BUF122C

Good to see some other types of vehicle at Cobham this year. Bedford articulated lorry BWH453

Hugh, Pugh, Barley, McGrew....or was that Trumpton?

Mitcham (Cricketers) was the destination for the first Routemaster journeys, albeit not on route 88

East Kent's CFN104, a Leyland Tiger

Cobham Bus Museum's D142, a London General Omnibus Company Dennis from 1925

DBL154, a Bristol 'K' type from the days when Thames Valley was a bus company, not a police force

Another Lodekka, Hants & Dorset DEL893C

The display of fire appliances.

The sole surviving Bristol 'H' type, FJ8967

Twee Dennis fire engine. Only for small fires, really....

Another Dennis Loline - GRD576D from Reading Corporation.

Once upon a time, people presumably lamented the passing of the horse bus, and complained about the horrid modern motor bus that was killing them off

They would have been none to pleased to be followed by a Bristol VR, then

1937 Dennis Lancet JG8720, East Kent

Something more modern (comparatively anyway). Bristol VR JWV272W. The VR was the last type made under the Bristol name.

Alder Valley resulted from merging Aldershot and District and Thames Valley. Leyland National KPA369P in the new company's colours

London Transport's country area received AEC Merlin buses shortly before being separated to form London Country. MB90 shows late 1960's livery

Good to see some old cars there, too. OX7014 is a...well, it's an old car. Let's just leave it at that so as not to display my ingorance

The event celebrated 80 years of Green Line. Here's a (fairly) modern Green Line coach, R455SKX, showing a display for the long-gone route 712

RF113. RFs always have a slightly surprised look about them.

RF28 - one of a number that were modernised and with a revised Green Line livery

The traditional line of Routemasters

Routemaster Green Line coach RMC1486

Country Routemasters RML2412 and RCL2233

The very expensive, and rather controversial RT1

RT113, another pre-war member of the family

A much later RT, Green Line RT3254

London Country was the biggest operator of the Leyland Nationals. Here's SNB340. Route 414 had been home to RTs and then RCLs. Hmm.

A group of Southdown buses

Cobham Bus Museum's STL441, from 1934...

...and T31, from 1929

Later Green Line T792 looking lovely

From a different era: Hants & Dorset Daimler Fleetline VRU124J

Curious-looking 1956 Albion Victor YFO127, from Guernsey Railways. Not to sound stupid, but I didn't know Guernsey had any railways

RT1599 pauses for a break on the way home in company with RML2583
