I must admit that for the first 20 or so years of their lives I was not particularly interested in them.
To me the fact that London was still building half cab buses into the late1960’s when my home town fleet ‘Sheffield Transport’ and most of the rest of the country had been running ‘modern’ Leyland Atlanteans and Daimler Fieetlines since the late 1950’s only went to ‘prove’ how backward them ‘darn sarth’ were.
It was at least 20 years later before I actually travelled on an ‘RM’.
It was only when ‘London Transport’ started taking them out of service that I took any interest in them at all.

What had been ‘Green Line’ became ‘London Country Bus Services’ within the
‘National Bus Company’ which initially retained the old base colour with the addition of dark green but with some yellow instead of the earlier light green contrast.
