Swishy, this is a true story. Many years ago I used to drive double-deckers in London. In one of the other depots they had a few RF models, like this............................

as well as the more normal RT and RTL models like this..............

One of the drivers who did the same run every day driving an RF used to sneak home for lunch every day in his bus; he had to drive under a low railway bridge to get there but that was OK in his RF bus. One day however, the RF wouldn't start and he had to take an RTL. He forgot that he was driving it and still went home for lunch. You can guess the rest, I'm sure ;D ;D ;D

They are (ex Sydney Goverment) Leyland Atlanteans. Fitted with 0680 Leyland engines and 4 speed semi auto transmissions.
Would be either 1970, 71 or 72 models.
Only 224 built for Sydney Goverment. 8-) :) ;D ;) :D
Fleet list info as per the below link.
