Hi there. Do you know the dates of anymore running days? Would love to know. Great video 👍🏼
@GrahamSleathАй бұрын
Most of the running days are listed on the classic buses website here www.classicbuses.co.uk/++Events-diary.html. They are looking to have a running day on the 227 Bromley North to Penge on 15th December subject to confirmation. But for next year Saturday 29th March Route 19 , Sunday June 8th Route 418 and Saturday 13th September Route 54 running days organised by London Bus Museum are 3 days when classic buses will be out. This event was organised by The North London Transport Events Team and was a late addition to the Bus Rally calendar so it is worth keep checking the events diary once running days have been confirmed. Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you are able to get to some of the running days and enjoy the vintage buses.

Just to clarify from the title there is not a part 1 to this film in case you are looking for it. Part 2 refers to the second of a number of events held at the museum this year starting in April of which this was the second part.

I heard of at least two buses that did not attend due to mechanical issues and drivers also a bit short. However all present worked hard to cover services. Demand was high with routes described as quiet last year running fully loaded. They also had to deal with emergency road works that changed the timetable at the last moment. @GrahamSleath

Reminds me of a Saturday in 72 or 73, I worked at Geo Greens in Humberstone Gate as a delivery assistant and around midday we were going home for dinner the driver would drop me off then pick me back up, we had just left the shop and were attempting to get out of St James street next to the pally, unlike today Humberstone Gate was a busy road then with heavy bus traffic, a traffic warden came to our aid and put his hand up to stop a oncoming bus and waved Horace the driver out which he proceed to do, how ever the bus driver didn't see the traffic wardens signal and carried on, the result was our Bedford CF 18cwt being pushed sideways along Humberstone Gate for several yards by a PD2 or PD3 (sorry I was a lorry driver for 40 odd years and don't know much about buses) serial no 20 if I remember correctly, after separating the two vehicles it seems our van came of better with not even a broken mirror just a slight dent in the drivers sliding door, the bus however lost several bits of its bodywork, I remember having to attend court as the bus driver was charged with I believe careless driving,

Thanks for putting this up Graham. Super for those, like myself, who couldn't make the event. You must've spent a lot of time hanging about getting those road shots. It is always strange seeing buses such as Dominators & Metropolitans now being seen as museum pieces, especially when back in the day I rode on them day in day out to college then later to work! I always treasured my edition of "50 Years of Motor Services" book, published in 1974. I remember being knee high to a grasshopper and going with my Mum to Rutland Street enquiry office, so she could buy me a copy of it. I wore it out with all my reading! Have a great Summer, John.
@GrahamSleath4 ай бұрын
Thanks John. I do like to get out and take some different shots rather than just standing in the grounds of De Montfort Hall which I know some people have done. The buses left every 10 minutes so I didn't hang around very much. I agree it is strange seeing the buses you grew up with now just museum pieces when they still seem quite modern. You too have a great Summer and coming up I am at The Big Bus Show next week and hopefully Showbus and Buses Festival in September which has Leicester's 40 and 163 booked to attend.

@@GrahamSleath That's your trademark, Graham. It is great to see the buses actually running along the roads. Over the last 20 years I can count the number of rallies I've been to over there on one hand. Aside from going on the bus rides, I don't venture away from the rally sites. Living over here I do miss those bus rides, though. Currently we're down in the Dordogne, so I had an excuse to use our local village bus service to get to the tram, which would take me to the TGV station. Our bus service only started in early 2020, just before the pandemic. But I've never used it. So on Monday morning I caught it at about 9.20am and ended up on a bone shaking Citaro. Not quite the same as riding on a Leyland Leopard with nice sound effects. I plan on putting up a video of my journey from the Paris suburbs to Angoulême, when I arrive back home.

Hi, oh that was a great film, brought back many memories of travelling on Leicester City Transport, Corporation. I used to go school on one of those Dennis Dominators, very modern at the time. Then I learnt to drive PSV's on an ex Corporation as we called them Leyland PD3, bought by Coates PSV/HGV school.............The Scania single deck bus' used to be on the route 15 Braunstone Cross Roads to City Centre via new parks. Many thanks for sharing this event with us. All the best Dave.

Older buses had much more sturdy construction, our local company has 8 year old streetlites that shake rattle and roll. Had a ride on a 1974 National at Morecambe/Ribble day, not a single rattle and went like stink. Modern buses are designed down to a price, they are only meant to last for the length of the contract/lease, throwaway society .😬.
