T499 completed its metamorphosis from American Red Cross grey into the three tone green livery of the pre war Green Line coach fleet. We pulled out all the stops to have her ready for her first trip out in the new colours and indeed her first trip into central London since 1954 to attend the Year of the Bus Cavalcade and display in Regent Street last Sunday. Here she is looking in resplendent on Lambeth Palace Road in a photo by Peter Zabek, prior to setting off in the first tranche of buses on the road run to Regent Street
I'm pleased to report she performed as well as she looks and she now moves onto being an exciting new addition to our private hire fleet.
She looks fantastic. What a superb restoration
