London Transport RT3094, Orpington, 1977

            London Transport RT3094 on Station Approach, Orpington, the bus operating the 229 service running via Bexleyheath to Erith on the South side of the River Thames. 

In May 1977, the 229 service was converted to Routemaster (RM) operation, so this picture is taken during the last days of RT operations on the route.

In September 1982, DMS Fleetlines took over from the RMs on this service.
