Ride to and from the RAF Museum

All aboard for a classic bus running day in the Edgware, Mill Hill and Colindale area of north London on Sunday 29 August 2010. This event will recreate the bus routes from the 1960s - free services using buses of the period - and will operate in conjunction with the RAF Museum at Colindale, on the site of the former Hendon Aerodrome.

Visitors from the local area may travel by our free services, departure times here.

In addition to local services, some long journeys will operate on routes from central London in the morning. These will generally be Routemaster-operated; details are here.

An introduction to the area and its history is here, bus service details are here. An illustrated programme will be available at the RAF Museum on the day, with full details and bus timetables.

Visiting the RAF Museum

RT4779 graces the genteel suburbs of Shaftesbury Avenue, South Harrow, on its way from Mill Hill to Heathrow in the winter of 1977/78. Unfortunately, RT4779 (updated photo © Peter Osborn)will not be operating the 140 on 29 August.

Buses will run free services available to the public. The format will be similar to our Worcester Park running day in August 2008, which was enjoyed by local residents and enthusiasts alike.

A photo gallery will be put on this site after the event. If you would like to contribute, please see the Photographers' page.
