Events - 2012

A pictorial summary of where we've been this year

Uxbridge, 24 June

Amersham, 7 October

Bromley - route 227 anniversary, 9 December

London Bus Museum

'Friends and family' enjoy the sight of three red RFs with four green cousins.

Route 38 anniversary

The 38 back home. RTL139 lays over on the traditional Clapton Pond stand. The pond had been

especially spruced up for the occasion!

Old and new at the Clapton roundabout stand.

LT4 ran early in order to keep up with the RTL. A driver's eye view. See also Tom Drake's view.

Sunshine in Godstone. RF486 has travelled the scenic route, via much

of the 494, whilst RML2323 has taken the main road.

Amersham

Altogether more peaceful than the frenetic activity at Amersham Station was the

Cholesbury short-working terminus of the 397.

Earlier, before the sun came out, we ran the day's journey to Tring, pausing here to

deposit customers at the Rose & Crown, Hawridge.

Uxbridge

The 204 run to its Sunday Hayes Bourne Avenue terminus was as popular with the locals as usual.

West Drayton Station and a short on the 224.

Cobham Spring Gathering

As well as marking the launch of RT2775 and the 60th anniversary of red RFs,

Cobham this year also celebrated the 40th anniversary (to the day) of London

Country's introduction of the AN class Atlanteans and its replacement of the

last RMCs on Green Line service with new RPs. London Country did not

however operate horse buses. Usually. Unless there was nothing else available.

The 60th anniversary of London's red RFs was celebrated by a (damp and depleted)

line up. Well done to RFs 354, 368, 319, 401 plus (not in shot) 326 and 366 for making it.

Meanwhile RF486 did not join the line-up of red RFs, being required as the

control bus.
