London Transport AEC Regent RT 2482, KXW111, allocated to Leyton Garage (T). Although the 10 route ran from Victoria to Abridge, deep in Essex countryside there were many short workings. Although the via blinds are set for the full route this journey is running from Leytonstone Green Man to Abridge Blue Boar only. At the time the Green Man was semi rural - the car park at the side of the bus is covered in pebbles. We are on the very edge of Epping Forest; there is a large roundabout at this location now. © Roland Wilcox |
