AEC did not have the production capacity to meet the replacement requirements of London Transport, so an agreement was reached between AEC, London Transport and Leyland that the latter should supply a proportion of buses. The major requirement was that the chassis must be able to accept the standard RT body without serious alteration. Leyland offered their standard PD2 type steering, front and rear axles and revised 0600 engine, but the transmission was to be supplied by AEC. Production RTLs began to appear in December 1948 with bodies by Park Royal and MCW, numbered from RTL501 to allow for the 500 RTWs. Stock numbers ran from RTL501 to RTL1631. Samuel Ledguard LLU 842, ex London Transport TRL852, was new in 1950 with a Metro-Cammell body. All Ledguards’s RT types were chosen for the roofbox body, of which the central main destination box made it suitable to rebuild to the Company’s standard destination display. It operated for Ledguard’s on interurban routes in the Leeds-Bradford-Ilkley-Otley-Harrogate area from November 1966, until the Company’s sale on 14th October 1967.
