Several vintage buses were on display at the garage on 10th May, the occasion of the Garage Open Day. The bus on the left is RM 1 dating from 1954 which in 1956 was the first Routemaster to go into service. On the right is G 531, a Guy 'Arab' with Park Royal 'utility' bodywork built in accordance with wartime restrictions in 1945. It lasted in London Transport service only until 1952 and in 1953 moved to Burton-on-Trent where it remained in service for another fourteen years.
