The 'Cobham finale'
Cobham Bus Museum provided
three buses for the day, which were all timetabled to be at Leyton
Green at 4 pm. Their lay-over at the front of the garage (two
at a time, under Stagecoach rules) provided a photographic finale
as RML2364 departed on its last run to Chingford.

The TD departed, whereupon RML2364 emerged for its final journey
to Chingford.

Finally, RF486 brought some stranded passengers back to
Leyton. A worried-looking controller watches his bus reverse
in.
