AEC Swifts SM Type London Country Bus 1970s

AEC Swifts SM Type

What is your favourite bus of all time?

Introduced in the Country Area in 1970, the AEC Swifts (coded SM) reached a total of 838 in London Transport and London Country service. The 36ft long Merlins proved to be too long for many routes and hence the shortened 33ft 5inch long Swift. Sadly like the Merlins, the Swifts proved to be unreliable in service and the last bus, a SMS was delivered in 1972.
