A must see for London Transport buffs. 23 minutes of raw footage shot from a moving vehicle in Central London. Countless AEC Routemasters are seen, also large numbers of RTs with and without roofboxes. At one point a camera apparently on the roof of a building picks out a solitary XA-class Leyland Atlantean as it picks its way through the streets.
