Photos of RF486 in service
This might not, at first sight, look like a
picture of RF486. But the current body and chassis of
RF486 were numbered as RF471 from 1961 until its last
overhaul in 1966 (see the History).

it works duty T1 from Leyton on the 236.

After sale by LT on 31 December 1979 ('clear
the decks for the new decade'), 486 went to stay in Scotland for a
period, then returned to England via several dealers.
It is seen here still in as-withdrawn
condition, albeit rather more worn, in about 1991.

In its near-final form as an OMO bus, RF486
worked from Norbiton and is seen here in about 1970, on diversion
in Kingston while running the 201.
Seen again while working from Norbiton in
1970, RF486 is at Heathrow bus station on the Sunday OMO service of
the 285, followed by an RT on the 140 and an RM on the
81B.
