East Grinstead

2015 marks 50 years since the introduction of the famous XF-class Daimler Fleetlines, precursors of London's new one-man double-deck fleet, on Country route 424 between Reigate and East Grinstead.  The route therefore featured strongly in this year's event; RT4779 started from the Reigate Station terminus.

Not just a point to point route, the 424 ran in something of a zigzag, here leaving Horley for Smallfield.

Copthorne Church and RT4779 is followed by a cyclist through the sharp turn.

Later in the day, we had the pleasure of running the RT behind XF1.  Two of the original eight XFs were in service on the day.
