Colindale Running Day
Route 251
The 251 is one of London's longest established single-deck
routes, having commenced operation as 551 in 1925 and taken on most
of the modern route in 1934. Until 1968, the route ran only
as far west as Burnt Oak, then being extended to Stanmore via
Stonegrove until being reduced to run only to Edgware in
1993.
RF420 awaits departure on
a short working to Highwood Hill Rising Sun, from where
buses ran out of service to Edgware garage.
