What's new
The long-awaited article on Kingston termini is now up, featuring diagrams of
the complex run-in and run-out at the garage, kindly provided by
Ian Hogben. In addition, further research has added more
detail on the special Kenwood
Express service.
Central Area single-deck operations
The site provides details of
single-deck services operated by the
Central Area of London Transport, up to 1968, and in particular
those operated by RFs (1952-1979) - see Red RF routes. We are pleased to include
memories and comments from crews and
others that remember RFs in operation. More detail is added
periodically, and comments and additional input are welcome,
please email. There are
also a brief history of the RF class,
some local history and some
background notes on LT operations.
