The doubledeckers London Transport bought in the 1950s and 1960s (the RT and RM families) were famous for undergoing a tilt test before entering service and after overhaul at Aldenham Works, but on at least one occasion a doubledecker did overturn in service without any other vehicle being involved.
The occasion I am thinking of was an RM on route 141 near to Catford Bus Garage round about 1964: I went to school in Catford, by bus (but not the 141) and there was a picture in the local paper at the time. I'm pretty sure nobody was killed and not many were injured. Does anyone have any information as to the identity of the bus or any similar incidents?
