Hi Alan, It's amazing how buses have evolved over the years. Of course, I'm too young to remember the very old ones!! xx

Thanks Alan, this was a brilliant visit to see the lovely old buses and several looked like the old buses that I used to go to school on in the 1960s and early 1970s. It was a beautiful venue but it was a shame that the old double decker got badly damaged by the trees. I hope that you are doing well. Take care and all the best. Stevie

It was a well attended event, the bus that got damaged was in a dead end road, so not sure why it went along there, I don’t believe there were any passengers on it. I’m fine thanks and hope you are. Cheers

Ahh love the old buses!! We have vintage buses displayed each year in Worthing by the sea. What a shame about the bus stuck in the tree!! Hopefully, no one was hurt upstairs!!! I do hope the bus can be repaired..... xx

Hi Lynette, there are lots of bus rallies / running days throughout the year but it’s the first I’ve been too for a long while. The bus in the tree wasn’t giving rides and it was in a dead end road, so not sure why it was there. The roof looked badly damaged xx

Hi Alan. Now that was an excellent day to have so well attended & plenty of customers . Takes me back to the 50s collecting bus numbers in Islington London. Take care enjoyed that.

That's grreat Bob, so pleased you enjoyed it. I was brought up in Islington in the late 50s. All the best, take care.

Great stuff Alan. Coming from Weston, our local buses were "Bristol Buses" built at Lawrence Hill. My late brother was involved in transport and worked for many years for a firm Ken Sweeting Transport. Ken built artic, trailers from the chassis of old 8 wheeler Bristol lorries. These were run by BRS (British Road Services) These were used up until about '64 until withdrawal and scrap. He cut up the frames which had a distinctive shape to the rails and built them up into trailers that were registered as "Kenn Trailers". The name and his name Ken gave these exceptionally strong "carts" as he called them quite a long history until stronger lighter trailers came along in the industry.I learnt much from grinding welds through to painting chassis and upperworks (only 10 at the time) so spent my school hols. making and mending for Ken whilst my brother was "on the road". So these old BRS trucks were partly recycled. The name Kenn was based on the hamlet near Clevedon and was a patent name. Bob and Helen.

Hi Bob and Helen, thank you for that interesting history about Kenn Trailers. There’s also a Kenn near Exeter. What fun you had as a youngster. All the best, cheers.

Hi Alan, funny isn’t it, we were so close to Daventry with the boat and yet never visited. How lovely to see these old vehicles still being enjoyed....fascinating to watch...🍷🍷

Hi Steve, that’s often the way, people don’t use something and then miss it when it’s gone. Glad you enjoyed watching, all the best 🥂

I went along to this but didn't spot myself anywhere. It was my first experience of seeing a bus of a type that I remember traveling on as a teenager in preservation so that slippery slope has started. Where one of the buses hit a tree is a dead end that never usually has tall vehicles along it.

Hi Hazel, thanks for commenting. That particular bus type you mention should have brought back fond memories. I wasn’t aware the bus was heading along to a dead end, the driver should have had an awareness that the trees were too low.

Typical, you wait an hour or a bus, then 35+ turn up at once. I used to be a bus driver years ago and one Sunday morning when I was spare I was asked to take an old but to a local wedding show. I was going down a main road in Hull at what felt like a great rate of knots and thought I'd better slow down before the old girl blew up. I looked at the speedo, and I was only going 20 mph. Thanks for sharing Alan.

In the days of conductors when I was a young lad, I always thought it’d be interesting to drive a bus. Never have though. I can well imagine older buses seeming quick, when going slowly, they can’t be the most comfortable or easy vehicle to drive. Glad you enjoyed watching.

Thanks for that Alan. Brought back memories of catching the bus to school across Sheffield. The double decker a bit unlucky with the roof. I spent the Heritage Open Day on the reception of Otley Court House. Did you manage to ride any of the vehicles yourself?

I’m glad you enjoyed it Philip, is that a volunteering role you do at Otley? I would have liked to have a ride but with the queues and time involved I decided against it.

Alan. Great idea for your new channel, best of luck with it, i subscribed. We are moored Crick and travelling to Leicester for a 3 day visit week of October 16. Market Har as well. If I may ask…what are some not to miss heritage things to see/do there? Any advice greatly appreciated. (Also booked the Foxton Inn Oct 15 for the carvery….inspired after watching your youtube video of your trip there and enjoying the carvery!!!). Thanks Alan.

Hi Charles, thanks for your good wishes for the new channel, much appreciated. Sounds like you have a fantastic trip planned. I would certainly recommend looking at the site of the inclined plane at Foxton Locks and visit the small museum there. I’m not familiar with Leicester but I know the Victorian Abbey Pumping Station is well worth a visit. Next door to that is the National Space Centre. The King Richard 3 visitor centre is in Leicester, his remains were found under a car park. Enjoy your meal at the Foxton Locks Inn. All the best and have a great vacation 🤠
