From the author's hometown in Essex, the Green Line route 721 (operated by RCL) served as the customary route to London, conveniently leading to Aldgate, a cherished destination during his youthful spotting adventures in the 1950s. From Aldgate, a leisurely stroll ensued along Bank, Aldwych, Trafalgar Square, and Whitehall, ultimately culminating in Parliament Square. The journey would invariably conclude with a return along the Embankment. This familiar route became a recurring practice when the author's interest in photographing LT buses began in 1967. During subsequent trips, he dedicated his attention to capturing the remaining RTLs in service, while also exploring the Routemasters. Additionally, this book showcases the Vintage Route 100, operated by a 1930-built ST, which commenced operations in 1972. Comprising a captivating collection of superb photographs, this publication offers a profoundly evocative and nostalgic journey into the iconic era of London's transport history.
