‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit ‘Skills’ 1’ on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

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.

 

Skills’ was the provider of our transport for the day and their base at Bulwell in Nottingham was to be our first visit of this the third and final day.
