    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.

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