Oxford NRTLxxx Series
Leyland Titan PD2/7RT RTL Class 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The RTL's provided almost 20 years of service in the capital with the last examples being withdrawn from service in 1968.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 first N scale RTL model was issued in January 2010 and used the existing RT casting combined with a new Leyland radiator.
