London Transport red RF's in the last days part 2

A look at the central area red RF's towards the end of there working lives.

I boarded a green RF route 322 Watford to Hemel Hempstead at Watford Junction. It had an advert on the rear for Whipsnade and I heard some people ask the driver for tickets to go there. The driver said something like 'We have Persil as an advert as well, but we don't take in washing'. Such a modern-looking 'bus and lovely engine sound. Unbelievable that it was almost a contemporary of the half cab TD.

Nice to see the RF's running. I think the bus wash has broken ! 😊

Memory lane! We used to go to London on Red Rover tickets starting from Weybridge on the 219. Nice RF sounds, though I think they have been "pasted on" afterwards, the original being possibly a silent video (or even cine film?) The surrounding motor vehicles are fascinating too; several old Ford Transits for example.

Used to get the 251 bus to school to Arnos Grove then the tube to Southgate

Superb footage and so many classic vehicles!

[@EdVanMeyer]

Remember them on the 219 in Weybridge!

[@Gusgrasshopper]

Actually, must the very early 80s as Elmsleigh Centre ramp has been built...

Ha ha the British have such a dry sense of humour. "Another pristine vehicle" @06:28

[@AlexEssex8]

It’s called irony!

[@clivechadburn6342]

Remember these on the 234a route purely old lodge lane in the 70s

[@signalcabin]

A very non descript left indicator at the back of the bus!

[@genericfootyfan]

Was hoping for some 164 , 164A, 80, 280 bus action to Epsom, Tattenham corner, Walton on the Hill journeys but it was not to be . Eau de LT bus, once smelt forever fondly remembered.

[@highpath4776]

apart from the 80 they had all gone double deck long time and the 80 was an early conversion to BL

They were so noisy.
