Routes 174 & 175 Bus Running Day 25/03/2023

The bus running day over route 175 - with some journeys on the 174 - between Romford and Dagenham New Road on 25th March 2023, organised by the London Bus Museum. A frequent service was operated over this section, mostly with RTs and Routemasters but also a few rarer types. The RMA-class was briefly used in service on the 175 when purchased by LT in the 1970s and three took part in this event, including one restored in original British European Airways livery. Also in this video are a handful of modern buses operating TfL routes in the area. 00:00 Romford Station 03:00 Dagenham New Road 04:10 Heathway, Dagenham 05:31 Romford Stn and Town Centre 10:22 STL2377 in Dagenham 10:41 Romford South Street and Stn Operators - Running day: Ensignbus (vintage fleet), London Bus Company, London Bus Museum, Reading Buses, Timebus Preserved and heritage buses in the liveries of: British European Airways, Capital Citybus, London Transport, Tower Transit Operators and routes - TfL services: Arriva London: 248 Go-Ahead London: 5 Stagecoach London: 174, 252 Bus types - running day: AEC Regent / Chiswick (STL) AEC Regent III / Park Royal or Weymann (RT) AEC Regent III / Weymann (RLH) AEC Regal IV / Metro-Cammell (RF) AEC / Park Royal Routemaster (RM, RML and RMA) Dennis Dart SLF / Marshall C39 Capital Guy Arab II / Park Royal Leyland PD2-7RT / Park Royal (RTL) Leyland Olympian Scania N94UD / East Lancs OmniDekka Bus types - other: Alexander Dennis Enviro400 BYD D8UR-DD / Alexander Dennis Enviro400EV City Wrightbus New Routemaster (a.k.a.
