 The 387 route, better known as Tring Town Service, had a claim to fame at one time as the home of the one and only London Transport XMB, the 15th AEC Swift delivered for use in 1966 by the Country area of London Transport. The first 14 pioneered the Red Arrow operation in the city. In 1986, at deregulation, the route passed to Red Rover as their 27. Two buses were needed and their new Optare CityPacers were regular performers, though dual door Nationals (including London Transport's former LS1) were regulars too. Tring Station is some way from Tring and the morning and evening journeys are designed around train times, serving both Tring and the picturesque village of Aldbury, with the Pond as the terminus. Mellor bodied Iveco 59.12, M62MOG approaches that stop. |

 Outside the Rose & Crown timing point in Tring, bound for New Mill, the other end of the route is M62MOG again. Unfortunately M848MOL, the other Mellor bodied Iveco 59.12 caught fire and was totally destroyed, thankfully not whilst in service. |
