London Transport Buses 1968

One day during the summer of 1968 I borrowed my father's 8mm cine camera and took some film of London's Buses. Film includes buses of the RT RTL RM RF RCL and XA classes at locations that include Victoria, Oxford Circus, the Bank and Aldgate. Hope the film brings back some memories.

@ingravegreen Its not FRM 1 @1:42 its an XA (Experimental Atlantean) on the 76 as also featured later. FRM 1 did enter service on the 76, was involved in an engine fire, had opening windows fitted and then followed the XAs to Croydon where it was used on the 233 and then 234 in OPO mode, It was then used for 5 years at Potters Bar as the single bus on the 284.
