Summary[edit]

Description
English: B340 was built by the London General Omnibus Company at it's Walthamstow works in 1911. The following year the company was taken over and renamed Associated Equipment Company (AEC). B340 has been owned by the London Transport Museum since it was taken out of service in the 1920s. It saw service in the First World War taking troops to the trenches of France. The London Transport Museum is currently closed for an extensive makeover and so the opportunity was taken to take it on the road for the first time in 56 years. Last seen by me at the services on the A23, it was making steady progress back home at 6pm on Sunday at about 25 miles an hour. A very rare opportunity to see a very rare beast.
