Route history
One of the shortest-running RF routes on record, introduced to
run between the peaks only Monday to Saturday, but lasting only 6
months before withdrawal. The route was provided in response
to protests over the withdrawal of double-deck route 151 over this
section (previosly covered by the 213), but was not a success.
Details of the history of the route are given here.
