The final group are mainly OMO conversions to RF
(rather than to Swifts), but include the
151, the re-introduction of a mid-day only
service to Carshalton Beeches that (not surprisingly, perhaps)
lasted only 6 months. The final 'new' RF route was a section
of the North Circular route 112, which was split due to congestion
on that road.
RF314 awaits departure
from Leatherhead garage on the
71 one Sunday, ahead of a London Country
Atlantean, in all-over Imperial Life livery - surely one of the
most uncomfortable buses ever to be inflicted on the travelling
public and absolutely no match for the RTs they replaced on the
408.
