13 april 2014 - Cobham, UK - Brooklands: Despite the RT-type double-deck bus becoming a firm favourite in London in the 1950s, it wasn`t a success elsewhere. This was because it was specifically designed for conditions in central London and was regarded by other operators as over-engineered and too expensive for provincial towns and cities. Although quite a few concerns bought RTs second-hand when they were released by London (recognising their very high maintenance standards)only a handful bought any new. One such was St Helens Corporation in Lancashire and one of their RTs has survived in preservation, as shown here.
