Corgi AEC Type RM London Transport 359 CLT Route 88 Mitcham

London Transport history is captured in miniature with the Corgi AEC Type RM London Transport 359 CLT (RM1359), finished for Route 88 to Mitcham. This diecast model reflects a bus that entered service in December 1962 and later worked Route 88 from June 1966, a long-established cross-London trunk route linking Acton Green and Belmont via key stops including Oxford Circus, Vauxhall Bridge, Stockwell, Tooting Broadway, Mitcham and Sutton.

RM1359 is also noted for carrying the bright ‘Boulogne – The motorway to Europe’ advertising scheme in 1974, promoting travel to France by Sealink and Seaspeed, before returning to standard service. A focused collectable for adult enthusiasts of London Transport and classic Routemaster-era operation, it brings a specific vehicle and route story to an OO gauge layout or display.
