Buses on Screen - Seance on a Wet Afternoon


Seance on a Wet Afternoon (1964, Richard Attenborough, Kim Stanley)
Attenborough gets off a London Transport RT (I think RT1525, KGU239) on service 65 next to what appears to be the trailer of an LT mobile canteen outside a school before kidnapping a schoolgirl.
