Nine Videos supplied to me by Malcolm Harrison:
[4]
Video mainly of London Transport Breakdown Tender
JJ 4376 (AEC Regent) new in June 1933 as STL 159 but converted in February 1950 to a Breakdown Tender.
Scrapped in 1966, it is seen here being collected from LT's Aldenham works and driven to another site in the Harrow area.
Some of the video is taken from an accompanying Austin A40. The beginning clip is probably taken at Harrow Weald and the rest is in the
Harrow/Pinner area. Various other buses are shown in the grounds of the Aldenham works.

[18] Take a trip on the lower deck front seat of RM1 by Graham Hill
Filmed during the London Transport Museum Depot's open weekend 10th October 2009. Having left the depot we begin our filming part way down Bollo Lane, just beyond the junction with Roslin Road (Click here for the Google map/streetview of the film start point). Passing by Chiswick Auctions on the corner of Colville Road we pass Chiswick Park Station and turn left under the bridge into Acton Lane. Bearing right into South Parade, we continue on over the mini roundabout, passing the Murco Garage, and with Acton Green Common on our right, we pass several junctions until our filming stops at the pedestrian crossing just before the junction with The Orchard.
