Note the lack of a pedestrian walkway on the far side of the road, which has since been improved. The iconic London Transport RT bus was only 7 ft 6 inches wide, considerably less than modern buses at 2.50 metres (8 ft 2 inches), emphasising the narrowness of the carriageway. Hardly surprising that the fence post appear to have taken a battering (probably not from buses!). This is one of a series of views featuring buses in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. http://www.geograph.org.uk/search.php?i=137652761 . RT1989 is operating on route 62 to Gascoigne Estate.
