RF401 from Tottenham Garage stands in Clifton Terrace, Finsbury Park, on a Sunday in September 1968. It has worked in on route 210 from Golders Green, to which it will return before running the full Sunday route to Leytonstone.

A tribute to 60 years of red RFs is here. We are pleased to have two contributions by former Kingston driver Ian Hogben, to add to our RF Memories.

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).

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.
