What's new

The pages tracing the history of LT's single-deck routes between renumbering in 1934 and the introduction of RFs are now complete (feedback and more information welcome). The RF route histories have been refreshed.

Central Area RF operations

The site contains details of the operations of red RFs by London Transport, 1952 to 1979 - see Red RF routes. More detail is added periodically, and comments and additional information are welcome, please email. In addition, a brief history of the RF class and some background notes on LT routes and other operational matters are provided (including some tips from a professional).

Red-RF events

In place of a Red-RF event in 2011, we jointly organised the Brooklands Running Day. Previous events were the Colindale Running Day in August 2010 and the Battle of Britain weekend the following month, Kingston in 2009, Worcester Park in 2008, Carshalton in 2007 and Hackney and Harrow in 2006. Each section has a photo gallery of the event.
