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.
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 being in the North West of England centred on the Holiday Inn Express, Preston.
Friend Peter Rose joined me for what turned out to be a sometimes wet, but very enjoyable weekend.
As we have done before, we have combined all the images we have gathered.
The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.
The last two visits of the weekend were to ‘Stagecoach Manchester’ depots at Hyde Road and Sharston.
Hyde Road produced the ‘King Charles III’ bus featured in my first blog posted on 24/04/2023 and this one featuring training buses
By the time we got to Sharston the rain had set in again and although I had a quick walk round, I took no photographs.
The return to our hotel followed.
After farewells to our other group members, it was off home, again in the rain.
Thanks go to the ‘PSV Circle’ as a group for organising the weekend and to Chris Elkins and Paul Whiteside as individuals for their efforts to keep the group in some sort of order.
As another member commented to me, “It must be like herding cats”.
To you, the viewer/reader:
If you have been with this series from the start, you have read/viewed over 30 blogs and viewed over 180 images.
Strangely enough, almost the same numbers as last year
Here’s to the next time, hopefully!
Thank you for your interest.

Because the buses were so tightly packed in the depot, I had to use an almost ‘fisheye’ lens to get the whole thing in.
It was either that or no photograph at all!
