RF453 leads a line of three RFs at the original 'Harrow on the Hill' terminus, later renamed (more accurately) as Harrow Met Station.

For comparison, this is how the stand looked in 1966. No bus station then, either; the top of the Met station sign can just be seen over the Q-shelter.

Before the start of operations in the afternoon, the three RFs completed a run over the route. They are seen here at Harrow School.

No longer a one-bus route; RF453 passes RF486 in operation at Harrow School.

Two RFs rest in the yard at Harrow Weald Garage.
