11 april 2010 - Surrey, UK - Wisley: An important survivor is this STL-class London double deck bus from 1934. Ordered by the London General Omnibus Company, it wasn`t delivered until London Transport had taken over operations and originally had a petrol engine from a withdrawn LT-class bus, being re-engined with an AEC diesel in 1939. Withdrawn from LT service in 1952, it went to a museum in Holland but was outdoors for many years. When rescued in 1974, the wooden body was in a very bad state and a full restoration was necessary. It now lives in the London Bus Museum at Brooklands. The STL class included several quite different models of bus, all called "STL---".
