The site contains a resource on the operations of red RFs by London Transport, 1952 to 1979 - see Red RF routes.  Complete coverage will take some time.  In addition, some background notes on LT routes are provided.
 
Red-RF events
The Carshalton Running Day took place on 15 April 2007 in brilliant sunshine and with large numbers of local people enjoying a day out.  The Photo Gallery features the work of over 40 photographers, and has a section on the background of the 30-odd buses that took part.
 
In 2006, there was the Hackney Marshes Vintage Bus Event and a small RF running day in Harrow.
