Filmed May 2015 at a preserved bus rally at Quorn railway station in Leicestershire, which is on the preserved Great Central Railway line where steam engines run regular passenger trains for enthusiasts on an 8 mile track, part of which is double track and the only example of its type in the country. Here a Barton Transport AEC Regent V from 1960 attempts a turn surrounded by other buses and people. No reversing beepers here! There are two surviving examples here, one owned privately and one belonging to the Ilkeston and District Bus Group. Barton Transport was the local bus operator in my area when I was growing up and they also operated all around the country and abroad. At their height they were the largest privately owned bus operator in the UK. The bus operation and entire fleet were sold to the operators of Trent Buses in 1988.
