This picture was taken at the Bromley Garage Open Day. The garage was opened in April 1924 by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC) for use by the Thomas Tilling company which operated an network of services out of LGOC garages at Bromley, Catford and Croydon. Tillings along with the LGOC and other operators were absorbed to form the London Passenger Transport Board in 1933. The vehicle seen here (ST 922) was recently restored into maroon Tilling livery and carries the still current Bromley garage code of T(illing) B(romley). It is an AEC Regent I with a Tilling body. It lasted in passeneger service between 1930-46 and is now kept at the London Bus Museum.
