Red RF routes

Crew routes commencing 1960-1964

Conversion of the 212 to double-deck operation in 1960 released RFs to Kingston. This and RT conversions at Uxbridge enabled the final members of the T and TD classes to be withdrawn over the next few years, culminating in the last TD-operated route, the 240^A, converting to RF in 1962.

1960-64 routes, in order of RF introduction:

215	6 Jan 60	Kingston - Ripley
218	6 Jan 60	Kingston - Staines
219	6 Jan 60	Kingston - Weybridge
Kenwood Express	11 Jun 60 (but see page)	Golders Green - Kenwood - Archway
224^C	15 Mar 61	Uxbridge - Heathrow Airport
215^A	1 Mar 62	Kingston - Downside
240^A	10 Oct 62	Edgware - Mill Hill East
202^A	1 Jul 64	New Cross - Southwark Park Road

RF486 sits at the Church Cobham terminus of the 215 in January 1969,

nine years after conversion to RF and three years after conversion to OMO.

Garage journeys operated the full route via Kingston to 'Norbiton Church'.
