Tuesday 11 September 2012 marks exactly 60 years since three brand new RFs joined the TDs and 6Q6s on route 210 across north London between Golders Green and Finsbury Park.  Considered 'modern boxes' by some, new RFs would replace all the older buses on the route within a month.

 

To mark the 60th anniversary of the arrival of the new buses, route 210 will again see operation by RFs on Tuesday 11 September 2012. 

 

Buses will operate a free service between Finsbury Park and Golders Green alongside the TfL service, serving all usual 210 stops.  A map and details of roads served are shown here.  Buses will not continue past Golders Green towards Brent Cross.

Operation will be between approximately 10.30am and 3.30pm, an updated planned timetable (subject to bus availability) is now available here. 

 

Photographers may find the following locations suitable for photographs, depending on time of day:

Please watch for traffic and stay safe.
