RF bus in Alperton garage
 

It's in full London Transport red livery, with "250 Epping" on the blind. I
don't know how long it's been there or how long it will be there. I didn't
get the number.

Everyone who needs to know already knows!

Actually, with some letter codes being reused (ISTR I saw DMS written on a
single decker a few years ago) I should probably have been more specific.

I tell you what, I'll agree to avoid committing the crime of not
knowing what a bus from the 50s is if you agree to avoid committing the
crime of being a ****.

Only a **** would fail to log on to Google, type in "rf bus" (complete with the
inverted commas to create linked search terms) and see what it threw up before
asking a fatuous question in a newsgroup,

A "T" is an AEC Regal I, II or III, with half-cabs and a forward engine. (No
connection with modern "T"s which are Leyland Titans of the modern
persuasion. The old ones were STDs)

A"Q" is an AEC Q, with a side engine.

Ah, but do remember an earlier message which said "Everyone's interest has to

hypocrites who are eager to criticise people who object to this group being
used to pose fatuous questions whilst being quite prepared to do it themselves.
I suggest some of you adopt a consistent stance on this issue, or else do your
trolling somewhere else.
