London Transport Museum/
AEC Renown LT #LT165
1 may 1993 - Crawley, Sussex, UK. This London bus normally lives in the Covent Garden museum and was only allowed to run in the HCVS rally twice in the early 1990s, before it went back permanently to the museum. It is shown in the form it ran throughout the Second World War, with anti-bomb netting on the windows and white paint for extra visibility during the lighting blackout. The LT type was an important forerunner of the standard RT type of the late 1930s.

2 may 2010 - Redhill, UK - Princess Way: Just passing Redhill railway station during the 2010 London - Brighton commercial vehicles rally is this lovely 1930 AEC Renown LT3 double-deck bus with Park Royal bodywork, normally living in the London Transport Museum at Covent Garden and very rarely allowed out on the road, as it is rather fragile. The LT-class bus was an important milestone in the development of a standard London bus, which culminated in the famous RT and RM types. This bus shows the wartime blast netting applied to the windows to protect them from exploding bombs. The little Dennis alongside in the station car park is the more normal bus these days!
