Cobham Bus Museum has commissioned a limited edition Exclusive First Editions model

The Cobham Bus Museum has commissioned a limited edition Exclusive First Editions model to commemorate its last display event, Goodbye Redhill Road, prior to its move to Brooklands.

The EFE model depicts Green Line RMC 1491, operating from Epping Garage (EP) on route 720A, destination London Aldgate.

Route 720A was introduced on the 30th June 1954 to supplement the main 720 service between Harlow New Town and Aldgate and was initially RF operated.  The increasing populations of the new towns facilitated an upgrade to double deck vehicles with brand new RMC’s entering service on the 720A from Epping Garage in October 1962.

The RMC’s stint on the 720A from Epping Garage was short lived, however, as from May 1963 the route was transferred to Harlow (HA) Garage with Epping garage closing. Due to declining patronage across the network, the route was converted back to RF’s from the 4th November 1964 and from the 3rd October 1965 withdrawn completely.

The model will be available exclusively from the Cobham Shop on 31st October, priced at £27 to members. For non-members, it will be £30.
