The bus in front is actually an ST operating from Camberwell garage. The bus number is just visible behind the driver. Camberwell's garage code was Q which is also visible below the first lower deck window.

In 1934 the majority of the allocation was from Muswell Hill garage using LTs. The bus behind is an LT from MH garage.
