A 1970s colour photo of a classic red London Transport RT-type double-decker bus navigating the city streets in 1971. The bus, identified by its fleet number RT 2575, is a quintessential AEC Regent III, featuring the iconic exposed radiator and half-cab design that defined London’s post-war transport era. The side of the vehicle carries a prominent advertisement for “Brymay” matches with the slogan “new box… new price…”, reflecting the commercial landscape of the early 1970s. Through the driver’s window, the operator is visible at the large steering wheel, while a yellow destination blind mentions an “Easter Parade.” This type of bus remained a familiar sight in the capital during the latter half of the 20th century before being fully phased out in favour of more modern front-entrance models.
