Was it my imagination or did I see a Routemaster (old model that is) in
service today on the 76 route near my house?

No imagination. It was the centenary of the route and of Tottenham
Garage today. Various special vehicles ran over the route including
RMs, FRM1, a NS, a G, a RTL and 2 RTWs.

Some photos from the Tottenham end of things. I did not see or snap
every special vehicle that was out and about.

Among them an RTL with a route number box; not something you see (or
ever saw) every day!

There were a few due to body swaps. I remember seeing one very occasionally
in the 1960s or 70s.

The odd ones that did always caused a stir in the bus spotting
community (who me?).

Used to get one fairly often on the 41s, even though it was in theory all-RM.
