Colindale Running Day

Route 240A

 
Route 240A was introduced in 1947 to provide a service over new roads to the east of Mill Hill Broadway, initially to Page Street Bunns Lane. in lieu of the planned Northern Line extension along the old railway line from Mill Hill East to Edgware.  The route became famous as the last home of the post-war Leyland TD class.  In 1966 the route was replaced by the 221.
