The red RF line-up, plus gold RF504.  All standard red RFs.  Except three have no doors (two never having had), two carry second fog-lamps (one as fitted by LT), one carries the late white-roundel livery; etc.  A very uniform class remarkable for the differences in detail.  RFs 489, 457, 319, 326, 366, 429, 354, 534, 486, 433, 453, 491 and 421, awaiting RFs 503, 406 and 395 to complete the line.  Green Line turned Country bus RF280 is the odd man out.
