I always thought of them as the Routemaster of the tube world!
I'd have said the RT. RMs were more the contemporaries of the 59 and
62 stock.

Mind you, the RT was still in production in 1954 (paradoxically, some
of these had OLD nnn numberplates).

I used to go to school on either OLD345 or OLD362, the latter was
favourite with us as the route was the 362.

Don't think so, sir. Still have a 1962 ABC to hand which has no 300's.

How about 1959? I distinctly remember those two numbers. They operated out
of High Wycombe. The 362 route went via Hazlemere to Amersham.

The green ones were mainly 500's and 700's plus a few 600's and 800's.

Now my school ones were JXN33 to 41 when new!

I defer to your venerability :-)
