AEC ST Type Old London Bus 1930

AEC ST Type

What is your favourite London Red Bus of all time?

The first 4-wheeled AEC Regent chassis entered the LGOC fleet early in 1930 when ST1 was placed in service although the original ST vehicle in the fleet of London Transport's predecessors was built in 1929 and entered service in July of that year with Autocar Services Ltd. of Tunbridge Wells, before being transferred to East Surrey Traction. This bus did not receive its London Transport fleet number, ST1139, until after 1933 when the East Surrey Company (by then London General Country Services) ceased to exist and became part of London Transport. A total of 1139 ST type chassis were built, the class becoming a standard for London.
