Description
Preserved former London Transport RT1347 registration KLB 596 has been repainted to represent one of nine similar vehicles acquired second-hand by Browns Blue Coaches Ltd of Markfield, Leicestershire in 1958. Eight RTs had the familiar
route number box fitted on the front roof dome, the exception was ex-RT173 HLW 160 which received a later non-roofbox body during overhaul but had been disposed of early by LT. Although RT173 no longer exists, KLB 596 represents
a non-roofbox Browns Blue RT.
