http://www.londonbuses.co.uk/ records RTWs on the 14 from 1955 until
1963.

I was at school then and bus-spotting too. I don't think that's right,
not by 1963 at least. Strange.

I was living in SE London at that time, so I can't make any comment from
personal experience, but another reliable bus site (Ian's Bus Stop)
records ...

Withdrawal of the wartime RTs from Putney Bridge in February
1955 brought replacements for route 14 in the shape of RTWs
scraped together from surpluses around the fleet.


I'm now feeling very old: I remember the RTs being phased out. I can
remember seeing the odd pre-war RT with the route no. box on the rear of the
bus.

So far as the introduction of the RMs affected me, it was as the
replacement for the trolley buses on the Edgware Road in Colindale.
