![]() |
THE REAL BUS London Transport in the post World War II period standardized it's double deck fleet on the RT. However in a bid to speed up delivery of new vehicle, a decision was taken to find another chassis supplier to supplement AEC. Leyland was chosen and a special version of the manufactures successful Titan PD2/1 chassis was produced. This was known as PD2/7RT and was fitted with the same bodywork as the RT. The combination was given the class code RTL by London Transport and between 1948 and 1954 a fleet of 1631 examples were delivered. The RTL's provided almost 20 years of service in the capital with the last examples being withdrawn from service in 1968. Some of these vehicles after withdrawal by London Transport found further service with provincial and independent operators across the UK. THE EFE MODEL EFE's third double deck model is a simple modification of the original RT. The only difference between the models is the baseplate and the replacement of the AEC radiator with a Leyland one. The first three releases came in the RTL Bus Set 19903 which was released in mid 1990. The roof box version made it's debut in 1996 in a London Transport Commissioned set. Surprisingly to date no standard issue versions have been released. Like the RT an open top version of this bus is possible and catalogue number 118xx is reserved, however to date no releases of this version have occured. The original RT body casting was re-tooled in 2007, this included improved features such as flush glazing, a new platform bulkhead with a window and the fitting of wing mirrors. The first issue of the revised model occured in October 2008. ![]() |
