[@NWandWBusEnthusiast]

I was present at the event, despite having to come from Rhyl since i was on holiday at the time, it was an amazing event to travel to, hoping to go again next year.

Nice to see a Wilts & Dorset VR.

Wow - those RELH's look magnificent.....the most perfectly balanced coach design ever produced - in my opinion!

[@paulsutton5896]

Yes. I agree with you. Unfortunately, I don't think I have ever travelled in one.

@@paulsutton5896 You have to try - as they ride as good as they look!

When you see the Crosville Bristols lined up ,how smart they were,in them days they had a bit of style,so did most of the 60s and 70s ,the Nationals did there job and looked good.

5:15That's interesting. I assume from the 'SNG' fleetnumber that that's Gardner engined

[@kevanhubbard9673]

I don't know that area well but I think in NBC times Hooton would have been Crossville territory and across the north side of the Mersey Ribble territory.I went on a Ribble once in about 1984 from Newcastle to Carlisle and I think that it was a United coming back as it was a joint service.

Today we seem to import many of our buses. Are they selling us the technology which we invented?

[@mr_howahox]

Whose bodywork is that Bristol RE - YLG717F?

[@davidjones332]

It's Northern Counties. NCME only ever bodied 11, all RESLs, six of these for SHMD and five to a different design for Burnley Colne & Nelson. THis is the last survivor.
