In Bexleyheath Broadway, near the clock tower on route 229 is RT 2710. LYR 694. While RF 231. MLL 768. is on London Country route 401. Looks like a nice warm day judging by the front windows of the 229. A pleasure not to be had on modern buses is a nice breeze blowing through the upper deck on a hot summers day.
June 1976.
