Steam, diesel and electric trains plus diesel buses at Amersham station during the London Transport Museum's 2017 "Steam On The Met" event.
The trains seen are:
*Chiltern Railways Classes 165 and 168 (165 031, 165 028, 165 011, 168 218)
*Several unidentified London Underground Metropolitan Line S8 S stock.
(historic train information to come)
The buses include normal service local buses and Heritage Routemaster buses. Some views of the latter were specially included to show the Routemaster's distinctive trafficator style direction indicators in action.
The buses are:
*Carousel 503 (OU57 FGX) ADL Enviro200
*Carousel 713 (MX58 AAN) Optare Solo
*RML2456 (JJD 456D)
*RM2 (SLT 57)
*RML2440 (JJD 440D)
Two of the Routemaster buses carry London Transport 'country area' green livery, the third is in National Bus Company leaf green livery with London Country branding. For those who do not know, in the late 1960's (but effective from January 1970) the government split up London Transport, giving control of its trains and central area red diesel buses to the Greater London Council and the country area green bus operation its own identity as London Country. The latter also became a subsidiary of the National Bus Company which controlled bus operations nationwide.
This was filmed on a Sunday at the same time as an annual fete event in Amersham's Old Town and some of the buses were operating a free shuttle service between the railway station and the Old Town.
Also seen in this film is the pop-up afternoon tea room and one of the souvenir / memorabilia sales stands - these were all located on a station platform.
At times some waste gas exhaust fumes from the steam and diesel powered vehicles can also be seen.
