The annual ‘Buses Festival’ this year was held at the ‘East of England Showground’ which is near Peterborough.
It is the first time I have attended the show and considering the amount of national publicity that has been lavished on it I was disappointed with the number of vehicles in attendance.
Whilst most of the attendees were preserved vehicles, there were some current buses and coaches on display.
The quality of vehicles that did attend was good particularly on a day which was interrupted by rain and dark clouds on a regular basis.
I think that an event held in the East Midlands will always have difficulties in attracting large numbers of participants.
The problem being that the venue is so far from most major centres of population.
Time will tell.

This bus seems to have been around for ever on the British preservation scene but it always attracts a lot of attention because its the mirror image of the double deck bus as we know it.
New in 1954 registered GB-21-07 in Portugal where it spent its working life on the streets of Lisbon where of course, they drive on the right.
