DSCF1213 Amersham & District Motorbus Society Running Day at Watford Junction - 8 Apr 2018

Sunday 8 April 2018 (1147) – The Amersham & District Motorbus Society Running Day replicated former London Transport Country Area services which were operated by preserved vehicles. The focal point for the event was Watford Junction Interchange.

Preserved former London Transport Metro-Cammell bodied AEC Regal IV RF404 (MXX 294) which was new in January 1953, was seen just after leaving the Interchange when working the 1111 service 318 from Chipperfield to the former LT garage at Garston. The garage is now operated by Arriva and the event was to mark its pending closure during 2018.

The photograph was taken from the upper deck of AEC/Park Royal Routemaster RML2440 (JJD 440D) new to London Transport in March 1966 returning from Garston on the 1118 service 385a.
