12 april 2014 - London (UK) - zajezdnia/depot Ash Grove. Not all London Transport buses were red, of course, as the company ran many services outside Central London with a large fleet of identical buses painted green, of which three are shown here. RLH48 was a little different, however - one of a number of `lowbridge` buses needed to operate on routes with height restrictions.

12 april 2014 - London (UK) - depot/zajezdnia Ash Grove. Upstairs in an RLH, showing just how cramped these buses were to travel on. Once you were seated on one of the inside seats, everyone outside you had to get up if you wished to leave first. The narrow gangway along the side of the seats isn`t wide enough for two people to pass and also means that the downstairs seats on this side have a very low roof, perfect for hitting your head on!

13 april 2014 - Cobham, UK - Brooklands. RLH48 is a privately-preserved example of the lowbridge version of the London RT bus, of which there were several in both red (Central) and green (Country) colours. Inside, they were a bit tight when crowded with passengers, particularly upstairs, where you had to shuffle along on the wide four-place bench seats to get on and off, with people sitting to the right of you having to get up first in order to make room.
