The Knack - and How to Get It

(1965, Michael Crawford, Rita Tushingham, Ray Brooks)

Kevin McGowan reports “The opening scene features Victoria Coach Station, later on London Transport Routemaster coach RMC1457 (457CLT) is seen, plus an odd looking RTL with large round rear lights, and a darker coloured roof. Loads of great street scenes of 1960s London too.”
Tushingham's character arrives at Victoria Coach Station aboard 448FXX, a Bedford SB/Duple Firefly, new to Samuelsons, but here sporting a North Western fleetname:

You see more of the station than the coaches, but there is a glimpse of a pair of Midland Red motorway coaches from the window of 448FXX:

RMC1457 (457CLT) in Green Line coach livery is held up for a bed crossing the road:

The RTL is RTL362 (KGU438); it was by then owned by Knightswood Coaches of Watford. It also appeared in The Day the Earth Caught Fire. As it pulls away from the stop another Routemaster is glimpsed:

There's also a distant second RTL:
