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. (Covid permitting).
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 was in my part of the world, the East Midlands.
The second visit of the second day was to ‘REDFERN TRAVEL’ who work out of a large modern depot at Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts.
Redfern Travel’s site at Mansfield Woodhouse is extensive.
There are however other premises, that I don’t know the ownership of in the immediate area that service the bus sector.
So, ‘at Mansfield Woodhouse’ seems a reasonable compromise.

KCG 627L ‘Trent Motor Traction No. 419.
Leyland National
on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’
I last saw this bus at Transpire’s Peak Park Preserved Bus Gathering 2016 at Rowsley, Derbyshire.
At the time I wrote,
“New to ‘Alder Valley’ as No. 127 in 1972.
It replaced a previous Leyland National in the fleet (XRB 419L) which also carried 419 as its fleet number.
If memory serves me correctly, the earlier bus fell out of favour because it had 2 doors and the norm had become single doors”.
I must admit, It brought a smile to my face to see that this ‘old timer’ was still around at the age of 50.
