The Amersham & District Society always put on a well organised and interesting event.

Great video, thanks for uploading! Wonderfully evocative to see so many classic buses on the roads around Dorking, the T - type looks absolutely gorgeous! Extraordinary how the RF & RMC type still look ‘modern’ to this day, over six decades on!

Thanks very much, it was a great event, T792 is always a star wherever it runs.

Great video, was unaware that London Transport had a variety of buses and in green too, I usually associate them with just the classic red coloured Route Masters. I note that the small green buses operated as (DOO) with "Pay As You Enter Please" on the front and side. Thank you very much, I really enjoyed that.

Until 1970 London Transport had a country bus department which ran services in the home counties in a ring around the London central area. In 1970 the country bus department (whose buses were painted green) which included the Greenline express services, was sold off to the National Bus Company and became London Country Bus services. This in turn was split up into smaller regional units and eventually privatised.

I remember going upstairs on my bus journey to school, in the winter it was a terrible combination of cigarette smoke and condensation.

1:58 I think I remember getting one similar to this on the 425 to get to Gomshall in the 70s?

Quite likely, the RF class were still in service into the early 1970's.
