The Introduction of Red RFs, part 2

13 March 2014

Peter Osborn

This meeting will be held on Thursday 13 March 2014 at 55 Broadway, London SW1 (St James's Park underground) at 18.00 for 18.30.

Part 1 chronicled the introduction of 225 Central Area RFs between September 1952 and March 1953, and the routes to which they were allocated.  Part 2 will take the story forward ten years, showing how the stability of the first five years was to be replaced by a succession of changes over the next five.

More detail on London's red RF routes is available on Red-RF.com.

Route 208 retained its RFs in 1967, but fellow RF route 208A has been replaced by RLH-operated 178.    Photo © David Christie
