The 38 and 38A
One of our trunk routes on the day was the 38A, along its pre-1958 routeing down
Pembury Road. However, as Routemasters never operated the
38A, the RMLs ran as 38, giving rise to the
need to inform the travelling public that, no, 'they' weren't
bringing them back.

thought the back of a bus was ugly?

RML2394 turns towards Pembury Road for a short working to
Hackney Central Station (known to LT for many years as Hackney
Station).

RTL139 worked hard throughout the day, rarely finding time for
a breather. Having terminated at Leyton Green, the
driver looks as if he's about to make an announcement.

full blind display, whilst RT190 is still in as-delivered
condition.
