On Sunday 11th April 2021, in place of their usual Spring Gathering at Brooklands, the London Bus Museum held a running day over the original Route 65 from Ealing Argyle Road to Leatherhead. The event consisted of both vehicles in passenger service offering free rides and also vehicles running along the route privately. Several private owners and bus companies supplied vehicles for the event to run alongside those in service from the museum, and the gallery below depicts those vehicles we captured around the Ealing end of the route.
