<puts on bus enthusiast's anorak> I was dragged along in the 1960's by Julian Edgington (the PROPER TNC Chairman) to many a LT bus garage. Further helped by other TNC member John Rushbrook's dad, who worked at Aldenham Works and got us in there. I saw all the existing RT's, RTL's RLH's RF's, RM's, RML's but missed a couple of the BEA RMC's and GS's! We never did get into trainspotting! <puts anorak back in cupboard> -- Neil Arlidge - NB Earnest - The Wilderness years...
