At the Routemaster 60 event at Finsbury Park in July 2014, the oldest vehicle on display and definitely not a Routemaster was this 100 year old B type double decker. LGOC B2737, LH8186, has recently been restored by the London Transport Museum and illustrates the tremendous strides made in bus design since it was built.

Some while ago the London Bus Museum acquired the chassis of LGOC NS174. This has been overhauled and work is now in progress on building a replica open top body. This will be a useful addition to the early London buses as the only other surviving NS (the LT Museum's NS1995) is in as withdrawn condition, with covered top, pneumatic tyres and driver's windscreen.

Former Metropolitan Electric Tramways 331 (LT 2168) built in 1930 by UCC, was the unique centre-entrance Feltham. It was bought by Sunderland in 1937 (becoming their 100) and thankfully lasted long enough to be preserved. During its life it has worn many liveries, but none more inappropriate than this British Steel livery.

One of the major tram systems in the capital prior to the formation of London Transport in 1933 was the Metropolitan system in North London. In 1930 they placed tram 331 in service, an experimental car. Later examples would be known as Felthams although the production cars did not have a centre entrance. This car was sold to Sunderland in 1937 for further service; it ran as their 100 until 1951.

New this year for the Ensignbus vintage running day was route X86 between Upminster and Brentwood. This was worked by two vehicles, during the morning an RF and AEC Regal Green Line coach T499 ELP223, seen here at Upminster station. This bus was repatriated from Australia and has undergone a very thorough restoration. Its first public appearance in Green line livery was at the TfL Year of the Bus display in Regent Street this summer, but I think this was its first occasion in normal public service.

It has just been restored and this was probably its first public appearance. Here, watched by a photographer, it turns out of Upminster Station Approach on its way to Gravesend on the X55.
