1/8/15 Windsor to Tunbridge Wells

Windsor to Tunbridge Wells
“Riding the 704” Run
1/8/15

For many years we had promised a friend who lives in Tunbridge Wells that we would take RF280 over route 704, and we finally did this in 2015.

At Windsor, RF280 is seen in much the same place as the c1956 picture below.

RF 280 looks exceptionally smart in this c1956 view, taken in River Street, Windsor, at the end of a long trip across South London from Gravesend. The conductor can’t be seen – perhaps he nipped off at Windsor garage or maybe hopped off for a packet of Woodbines

By amazing co-incidence we met up with RF679 at Victoria, which was (unknown to us) doing much the same as we were doing over route 703.

On the way down we stopped off at Bromley garage for lunch, by kind permission of Stagecoach. Some of their staff came specially to see us.
