Vintage Buses and Coaches on Show This Weekend
« on: June 12, 2014, 10:05:01 PM »
For scimitar and eabbus and of course anyone else interested in this.
At Peak Rail Rowsley, over 50 from all eras will be on show on Sunday between noon and 5.00pm.

I hope they fill the pot holes ( no not you Slacker ) on the road leading up to peak Rail.
We were there a couple of weeks ago and it's terrible trying to miss them.

I might be up for that Pam - thanks for the heads up. :)
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Me too but, unfortunately, I don't think that I'll be able to make it  :(

I love old buses. I spent a very enjoyable day at a transport museum in Ipswich earlier in the year where you could get on any bus which had its lights on - unlike the bus museum at Brooklands where you're warned not to get on the buses.

No idea what's wrong with the uploads?

Anyway we had a visit to the bus/coach event as hubby enjoys looking around vehicles.

Worst bit was getting in/out as there is only one way over the bridge.
I parked up just outside of the bridge and we walked in, but daughter found it difficult in her wheelchair because the road is so rough.
They have however improved the potholes since we went last. 100 tons tipped on it we were told.

Drivers getting frustrated as they couldn't get out as some of the buses were running trips.
One chap took my head of when he couldn't get out and was needing to back up to let a bus through.
All I said was 'there's a parking spot just to your left' as he was reversing  :-?

Good turn out though - we enjoyed it.

I like the bottom one OC, read the bit about using it to transport staff from Clarence House to Sandringham  :)
