Route 210 between Golders Green and Finsbury Park has a special place in RF history, being the first route to see red RFs, from 11 September 1952.  The last time RFs operated on the route was on the anniversary, exactly 60 years later. 

 

To complement the open day at Metroline's Holloway (HT) Garage, route 210 will again see operation by RFs on Saturday 9 July 2016.  Holloway Garage (then called Highgate) operated RFs on the 210 for the last years of RF operation in 1970-71, alongside Muswell Hill (MH), the route's then traditional home.  The RFs will be joined by London Bus Museum's TD95, representing an earlier generation of buses on the 210.

 

Buses will run at least every half-hour between approximately 11.00am and 4.00pm - see the updated final timetable here.

 

Buses will operate a free service between Finsbury Park and Golders Green alongside the TfL service, serving all usual 210 stops.  A map and details of roads served are shown here.  Buses will not continue beyond Golders Green towards Brent Cross, and all journeys will call additionally at Holloway Garage at Archway.

 

A history of the route is here.
