4 may 2008 - Redhill, Surrey, UK – Brighton Road. These lovely little Guy buses were specially built for London Transport in the 1950s to operate country routes. Although they seated only 26 passengers and were worked by one person, they had many features in common with bigger London buses like the RT and RF classes. They lasted with London Transport until 1972 and many were sold for further service with other rural operators.

3 may 2009 - Redhill (UK) – Brighton Road - HCVS Rally. Only 84 of these little 26-seat country buses were built for London Transport, but an amazing 35 survive - because they are so small, they are a favourite for preservation. The class was specially designed for one person operation along narrow country roads and no others were built.
