Been doing some more digging on the subject and a logical conclusion could be that what I remembered was actually the LS, being run on the 285 route, as part of the documented London Transport evaluation of it to replace the Swift.
Ray(Smyth) OP on this thread hasn’t been on for a while so I had a chat with him yesterday, he is well but struggles to get his head round this version of TruckNet and there’s a bit on Past and Present regarding pre-selector gears so a couple snaps from 1958 and my shift bus RC13 at Maddiston terminus and no I didn’t have two clippies there was an overlap of 10mins or so one bus arriving before the other left. Nearby was the yard of Smith of Maddiston. The first photo at Callander Riggs bus station Falkirk.
