Default Red buses

o.uk...

Nonetheless as far as buses are concerned the
red ones of London Transport penetrated as far as
Dartford (trolleybuses before them) and Farningham,
and the green ones of London Transport
country area a lot further into Kent than that.


Why did LT use red for the red-bricked streets and green for the country
lanes? Were they hoping their buses would be camouflaged?
