I remember these ST buses in regular service as a child.
This bus is Now with London Bus Museum in Weybridge Surrey inside Brooklands Museum
ST922 . A number of the London Tilling Buses went to Tilling owned Brighton Hove and District after 1933 when LT found it had too many (older) double deck buses.
When it arrived, of course, no one knew there would be a Regent 2,3,4 and 5. So it was just an AEC Regent! Another Regent from 1931 has been fully restored and resides at the Transport Museum Wythall just south of Birmingham. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aItpx5auoMS8gqQ.html
