I`m hoping that this will be my first successful attempt at posting a picture...

Here`s RM 1903 in West Ham Garage on January 11th 1983 - with a sore head having had an argument with a house the previous day.

By this time many withdrawn but intact RM`s were at various LT premises but surprisingly several collision damaged buses such as this one were rebuilt at Aldenham and returned to service.

Great pic Neil. Yes it did seem strange that RM 1903 got repaired, no doubt had it had a Leyland engine or Simms electrics it would have got scrapped. Seem to remember it got stolen off the forecourt in the early hours and ended up embedded in a betting shop in New Barn Street. It went for scrap two and half years later.

So, what were the odds on it appearing on an internet site thirty years later? !!

Well Neil I'd say about as likely as us meeting up on Monday at Southampton Docks with a RM that we both worked on 28 years ago that got exported to the USA !!
