Before I start, may I leave a message for Mr. Stewart Morgan.
You contacted me in February with some questions re my blog.
I have tried to contact you several times on the link on your Email with no success.
If you could provide me with another contact address, I would be happy to try again.
Thank you,
Dennis
I do not attend many bus rallies because I find more than enough in the current scene to keep me busy.
However once a year ‘Transpire’ the Chesterfield based enthusiasts group holds its own event which for the last few years has been held at the ‘Peak Rail’ site at Rowsley in Derbyshire.
I have been a member for many years and have rarely missed so as usual, I went along and of course the camera went with me.
For parts 1, 2, and 3 see blogs dated 23rd. June 2016, 11th. September 2016 and 11th. April 2017.
Part 4 The Chesterfield Connection.
