About this event
Ever wondered how the BBC and other program makers get street scenes in London during the evening with little or no traffic….? Well generally it’s because the filming is done late into the night and in the early hours of the morning.
Following on with our regular nocturnal trips into London to capture iconic London buses at night we are pleased to bring you a 1960's pairing this February. For the first time we will be pairing RTL139 with RML3, this pairing also brings two Leyland built buses together for the first time on a TimeLine Event.
We have been researching some new locations over the last few months and this trip will see us for the first time take in the tallest building in London, the Shard and the beautifully lit Chelsea Bridge. We are expecting to also take in some of the regular locations like the Bank of England, St Pauls and Whitehall.
These buses are London icons as famous say Flying Scotsman or Buckingham Palace, RT's were finally withdrawn from service in the mid 1970's with the RM's holding onto their streets well into the 21st Century with two tourist routes still operating them to this day.
Our evening of photography will start at the London Bus Museum, Brookland’s, Weybridge at around 7.30pm where we will board RTL 139 and travel in style to our first destination in the Capital. From here we will take in as many locations as possible before heading back to Brooklands for an arrival back at around 3.00am (Sunday morning). We will, where possible pose our buses up to allow slower shutter speeds and will use one of the buses to hold/block traffic from behind to allow more period correct photography. In addition to having these icons back on the streets of the Capital we also plan to have some of our re-enactor friends come along to add to the scenes where possible.
Our night of
photography will run for approximately 6 hours and will see us return to
Brookland’s at around 3.00am.
