‘Scene’ at ‘First South Yorkshires’ (FSY) event in Sheffield on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The 22nd. of August 2021 saw the 60th. anniversary of the opening of Olive Grove Garage in Sheffield.

 

To celebrate ‘FSY’ put on a ‘Family Fun Day’.

 

I have already covered some of the exhibits from ‘FSY’ in blogs posted 11/09/2021 and 4/11/2021.

 

There were a fair number of entrants from the West riding of Yorkshire starting with.

I can not understand why anyone who has gone to the trouble to prepare a vehicle for display to the bus world would then pile assorted objects in front of it so spoiling everyone’s view.

‘Scene’ in Chatsworth Park, Derbyshire 2 Preserved Buses on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

There cannot be many readers / viewers of my blog who are unaware that 2021 marks the 100th. anniversary of the founding of ‘Hulleys of Baslow’.

 

It had been intended to mount a bus rally in Chatsworth nearer to the original anniversary date but this was set back to September 26th. 2021 because of the Covid-19 crisis.

 

The buses I saw on the day split nicely into, 

 

Those owned by ‘Hulleys’, preserved buses and those that were visiting or passing through.

 

I do not claim that those pictured were the only buses on display because there were others that were out visiting elsewhere that I would have missed.

‘Scene’ in Salisbury 2 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A lovely town where even some months after the Skrypal affair there was a lot of security on the streets.

 

Fortunately there were a few buses as well!
