The LONDON TRANSPORT RLH: Fleet list
This page updated 27th July 2023.
With many thanks to Adrian Clarke for his contributions to the history of
London Country RLHs, and for his excellent photos.
Much information also comes from "The London RLH Remembered" by Peter Gascoigne
which is well worth buying.
LOTS has also been the source of much data, especially in "The London Bus Extra".
John Hambley's books of informatively-captioned photographs are also excellent.
Various contributors have sent sightings and or photos: thanks!
For latest information about RLHs (and other London buses) in Canada and the USA,
join the British Buses Abroad in North America web group.
Alternatively visit a site dedicated to RLHs,
with photos of many of the extant RLHs in the UK, Switzerland and America:
