‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit At the Premises of ‘preston bus’ /3 on Dennis Basford’srailsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The PSV Circle (of which I have been a member for some years) aims to hold an Annual General Meeting in a different location in the UK every year.

 

Usually held at a weekend, they also include visits to operators and other bus related venues for the attending members to visit and enjoy.

 

This year, the location being in the North West of England centred on the Holiday Inn Express, Preston.

 

Friend Peter Rose joined me for what turned out to be a sometimes wet, but very enjoyable weekend.

 

As we have done before, we have combined all the images we have gathered. 

 

The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

 

‘Preston Bus’, which has a history going back to 1904, became part of the ‘ROTALA’ group in 2011.

At one time, ‘ARRIVA’ group ran the bus services in Malta under contract to the Maltese government.

 

An agreement which eventually came to an end.

 

Some buses sourced from the UK were returned and sold on.

This bus being one of them.

 

Registered BUS 352 and numbered 352 in the Maltese fleet.
