The bodies were Leyland standard metal framed and were modified in detail to resemble as near as possible the roof-box STL.

All were based at Hendon (AE) where they were well respected and performed most of their lives on the routes 13, 113 and 183. They operated on other routes for short periods before the war and in the early 50's when some were replaced by the new RT.

The STD class as with most London Transport vehicles is well documented and some helpful references are as follows;
