    The 406 was one of my local bus routes from 1943 (when I occurred!) -1970, together with the 406A when that was introduced in the mid-fifties; I can remember the STLs on it. I used them to get from Tattenham Corner to go to work in Kingston from 1961 (fare 1/8) but remember when the fare from Tadworth to Kingston was less than 1/-. It was good to get on an Express 406A; the RTs could then motor on the dual carriageway south of Tolworth. I didn't recognise many of the locations though! Many thanks for filming.

    I went out to Nymans that day but I'd heard about the classic bus day. Old-fashioned London Country RMs and RTs are cool but I'd have been disappointed if I'd been waiting for one of those and one of those 80s junk heaps like that Metrobus showed up. I used to ride L&C buses from Croydon to Old Coulsdon when I was at 6th form there in the early 90s and remember the post-Olympian model you shoe about 3:30 - much more comfortable than the 80s buses were and less noisy.

    Got to say, that looks really great to see, Routemasters, the RF, Swifts and Leyland PD 2 plus prototype RM2, what a day. Great stuff. As a child in the 1960s used to go on RMC route 718, Camden Town to Epping. What days! The only RF route I saw in service was where my nan lived at Lambeth North, Green Line RF 701/702. That RMC is such a handsome vehicle, they don't make 'em like that anymore!!!!

    I would also add that there was never any breakdown, although it once came close. One day, from Tolworth on towards Kingston, the driver kept revving the engine hard. I was sitting near the back, so couldn't see whether the red flag in the cab was down. Anyway, just before The Railway Tavern, Surbiton, there was an almighty bang, following which the engine ran roughly and emitted clouds of exhaust. I then worked at County Hall, where I got off but the bus still pulled away towards the town and no doubt was subsequently failed. I still don't know what went wrong. Any ideas?

    Yes, route 28 goes near the castle as it goes up to Graça, I think that you would have to get off near the cathedral (Sé), from memory it is still a steep climb up to the castle.

    That was a good look around the premises and the vehicles on show. My personal gripe, when reversing, is the use of hazard warning lights; totally illegal on the public highway (short as it was on that tarmac), but also unnecessary when there are reversing lights and an audible warning (now “white noise” in use.
