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 third visit of the second day was to ‘Johnsons’ depot at Hodthorpe which is near Worksop, Notts.
There were a large number of double decker buses which would appear to work on contracts, some luxury touring coaches which were mainly in store and the company’s collection of classic coaches.
