The second blog of ten, posted over ten consecutive days.
More tomorrow.
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.
An hour lunch break was taken in Bolton where, inevitably, interest centred on the bus station.
The arrival of a large group of mainly men, mainly wearing Hi-Viz vests, many armed with cameras and jostling to take pictures provoked a lot of good natured banter with the local population.
I was asked twice by passers-by if the King was coming!

An interesting first look at ‘Tyrers’ because we were to visit all three of their local depots on the following morning.
An elegant and stylish livery which appears to have been designed rather than just having paint thrown at the bus.
