This RT is on Route 230 on the way to Northwick Park Station and would have been running during the 1960’s . The advertising on the side is for the Red Rover which enabled the holder to travel anywhere on Central Area buses, trolleybuses and the Underground (Twin Rover) for a fixed fee on one day only. We show some tickets here from the late 1960’s/early 70’s, one is dual pricing so was evidently just prior to decimalisation. We presume the name came from the route of the "Red Rover" London to Liverpool night coach service from the late 1700’s although this service only lasted until the coming of the railways in the 1840’s. During a recent trip to London I saw their new Oyster card which has recently been introduced - it just doesn’t have the same ring to it - I would have much preferred the name Red Rover. Anyway a nice addition to the range RT015.
