Experts will immediately recognise this shot of RT 1431 as one of 120 buses with non-standard Cravens bodies delivered to London Transport in 1948/9. By the mid-1950s LT found itself with a surplus of vehicles due to falling traffic and it was the non-standard 'Craven RTs' that first got the chop when they were sold off to other operators in 1956. 1431 is one of three preserved examples and is seen here awaiting action at the Ensignbus annual running day in Thurrock.
