Another wistful look back at a wonderful class of vehicle from
the past. This time it's another London bus, the 'T'. Environmentally-minded
enthusiasts will notice that this page is very green !
Seen at Cobham in 1990 were all five surviving Ts in the UK (at
that time!), in date order. Left to right they are T792, T504, T448, T219
and T31. Photo: M.Fane.
The 'T'-type AEC Regal can claim to be the class of London vehicle
that stayed in production or delivery - albeit intermittently - for the longest
period (from 1929 to 1948), although the number of models and designs over
those 20 years varied and developed considerably. Throughout that time, however,
the different 'T' versions achieved a distinctive quality and most of the
801 examples would be instantly recogniseable as belonging to the breed,
despite their many variations.
The classification 'T' was used for buses and coaches, with
petrol or oil engines, vehicles built entirely to L.G.O.C. or London Transport
specifications, 'off the shelf' examples straight from the manufacturer,
and miscellaneous models of various shapes and sizes acquired from other
operators either as purchases or as a result of takeovers. The only attributes
that they all had in common were that they were all single-deck halfcabs,
and had an AEC chassis and engine (usually the Regal 662 or, in the case
of oil engines, the O662).
T class buses and coaches served greater London from 1929 to
1962, in a wide variety of forms and modifications. Before the war they were
best known as saloon coaches, while after the war they were mostly to be
found running rural bus services.
This page will not attempt to describe a complete history of
the type, as this is well documented by authors far more qualified than myself.
However, I am hoping that the list below can become a useful reference as
it develops, thereby becoming not a potted history of the class, but a series
of potted histories of each individual vehicle.
Of the 801 examples built, only 8 are believed to survive today.
This is a surprisingly small proportion of the total production ( 1 in 100
) in comparison with the Leyland-equivalent 'TD' buses (both types were finally
retired in 1962), of which 4 survive out of 131 built ( 1 in 33 ). There
are several probable reasons for this.
Firstly, the early T's were built several years before the second
world war, which meant that they were becoming well worn at the outbreak
of hostilities. The chances of them surviving until the 1950's (when the
first seeds of the preservation movement were sprouting) were therefore slim.
Yet, the vehicle generally acknowledged as being the very first bus to be
acquired privately for preservation was none other than T31 of 1929, now
operated by the London Bus Preservation Trust.
T31 was acquired in 1956 by a group led by Ken Blacker (still
associated with bus and trolleybus preservation at the East Anglian Transport
Museum at Carlton Colville), Prince Marshall (one-time editor of the famous
ABC books, and now deceased) and Michael Dryhurst (still writing for the
enthusiast press and living in the USA), plus others. Incidentally, Michael
Dryhurst was involved for many years in the film industry, and sharp eyed
007 fans will spot his name as the credits roll after several James Bond
movies. At the time of its retirement, T31 was the only remaining ex L.G.O.C.
bus still in service with London Transport. This band of pioneers led the
way with some successes and some failures, but they ( and T31) undoubtedly
started the preservation movement that we have today.
A second probable reason for the TD's disproportionate survival
rate was that some of the T's suffered the ravages of war, a fate that the
post-war TD's never had to endure. Thirdly, a large number of T's were exported
abroad on their retirement from London service. By the time the last TD's
were withdrawn in the early 1960's, there was very little demand for such
an aged design for 'downstream' bus operators locally or offshore, so they
remained in the UK and those that escaped the scrapman's torch were more
readily available for the growing preservation movement.
Since the following list is arranged in fleet number order,
a few aberrations have occurred. For example the very first batch was of
50 vehicles (T 1-50), but included a significantly different model in the
middle of the batch (T 38). Therefore, the list shows T 1-37, T 38, and T
39-50 in three separate sections, despite the fact that they were essentially
one order. In each case where this occurs an attempt has been made to explain
the situation, hopefully with some success. The quest for a logical listing
sequence is not aided by LT's decision to use the same batch of numbers twice
on one occasion in the 1930's !
Some would argue that the three experimental 'CB' class vehicles
of 1931 should not be included, but they were numbered T1000-1002 and therefore,
by my reckoning, are entitled to a mention. So there.
As with my other lists, this document is incomplete and is bound
to contain mistakes. In order to make it as accurate a reference as possible,
I would of course welcome any additions or corrections. Which is a good moment
to thank Ian Smith for his super 4-view diagrams, and for all his help in
closing up the gaps in the information.

Rickmansworth). The second-hand Weymann body fitted in 1938 gives it a chunky,
purposeful appearance, and makes it indistinguishable from T361 on the left
which, although having a very different history (ex Amersham & District),
received an identical body, which came from earlier 'R' class AEC Reliances.

Geoffrey Leake kindly
sent me some additional information about this picture;
"For 5½ years, I travelled to school on one of these or T362,
the third of the trio at Watford Leavesden Road Garage (WT) or, towards the
end, one of the Mann Egerton T's which replaced them. I must have made getting
on for 2000 trips on these vehicles, averaging ten minutes each. I had to
do some memory jogging to work out just when it was possible for two of them
to be in Rickmansworth car park at the same time and, gradually, it came
together. I knew the 361 timetable by heart at one time and it came back,
little by little. The picture must have been taken at ten minutes to four
one summer afternoon, most probably in 1946 or 1947."
"T283 is about to leave at 3.51 as T361 has arrived at 3.48. Normally
a half-hourly service, this is when the drivers had their tea break. For
most of the day turn-round time was only three minutes in Rickmansworth.
The buses would usually park next to the kerb, where T361 is standing, but
when one was out of service for half an hour it would often be left further
over as in the picture. To-day, the car park still exists (or it did a few
years ago), as is the Rickmansworth By-pass in the background, but the buses
are long gone, as is the road layout nearby."
"One further point about the 361. None of these three buses was
ever based in Uxbridge. I have reason to believe that the 20-seater C class
Cubs, which they replaced quite early in the war, came from Amersham, but
the three T's were at Leavesden Road from that date until they were scrapped.
Uxbridge was a central area garage; all its routes ran
towards London. It's buses were red and it was on only the rarest of occasions
that a red bus turned up in Rickmansworth. There may have been one or two
red Converted T's at Uxbridge - I certainly saw them there a few times and
I have their numbers."

. If you think the body appears to be sagging in the middle, I can assure
you that it looks that way on the original photo, and some sort of collapse

Chassis: AEC Regal 662, petrol engines (3T3 and 4T3).
Body: 7-bay, 26 feet long, doorless front entrance. Seated 28 (later became

Notes: Previously operated by the Thomas Tilling group, all initially based
at Bromley for use on route 109 which required special vehicles for coping
with the narrow Chislehurst water-tower arch and local steep and winding
conditions. Originally they had Daimler D128 preselective gearboxes, but
these were replaced with standard crash gearboxes in 1934. All had non-standard
vacuum-hydraulic brakes. Later all moved to Kingston, eventually to be dispersed
around other garages. (Numbers also initially allocated to East Surrey vehicles
acquired or hired by Green Line. In 1935 these were renumbered T 391-402
- see below.)

the LT staff bus at Abbey Wood for a year before being sold to serve its
final years as a contractor's bus - a fate from which few vehicles survived.
