Derby Day AKA Four Against Fate

(1952, Anna Neagle, Michael Wilding et al)

Drama about different folk travelling to the Epsom Derby by different means of transport, which is intercut with documentary-style footage of the event itself,presumably from 1951.
Lots of blurred vehicles moving too quickly to be identified for sure, but this is London Transport Green Line RF93 (LYF444):

Buses in traffic are also too distant to identify:

Burlingham bodied, but no front badge on this fully fronted coach:

London Transport: a late model AEC STL, a Leyland RTW, RTW329 (KXW429), and a trio of Leylands:
