Specific Item Information: The London Transport Green Line coaches were a familiar sight on the suburban roads across the Home Counties from the 1960s and our version, registered MLL588, is as operated on Route 725, travelling from Windsor across the south east corner of the capital to Gravesend, via Croydon, Kingston-on-Thames and several other key suburban towns in between. The two-tone green single decker is enhanced with yellow destination panels on the front and sides, with black lettering indicating its calling points along the way. The Green Line roundel is also reproduced in yellow on the back of the bus, while the minute but highly detailed address, bus specifications and fleet number are printed in white on the near side. Even the door handle has been given special treatment with a tiny white masking operation on our N scale model.

Road Name History:
Transport for London (TfL) is a local government body responsible for the transport system in Greater London, England.Its head office is 55 Broadway in the City of Westminster.TfL has responsibility for London's network of principal road routes, for various rail networks including the London Underground, London Overground, Docklands Light Railway and TfL Rail. It does not control National Rail services in London, however, but does for London's trams, buses and taxis, for cycling provision, and for river services. The underlying services are provided by a mixture of wholly owned subsidiary companies (principally London Underground), by private sector franchisees (the remaining rail services, trams and most buses) and by licensees (some buses, taxis and river services). TfL is also responsible, jointly with the national Department for Transport (DfT), for commissioning the construction of the new Crossrail line, and will be responsible for franchising its operation once completed.TfL was created in 2000 as part of the Greater London Authority by the Greater London Authority Act 1999.From Wikipedia
