A new event organised by the ‘Nottingham Heritage Vehicles Charity’ (NHVC) who are based in the old TRENT garage at Hucknall, Nottinghamshire.
Friend Peter Rose and I ventured to the ‘Peak Rail’ site at Rowsley railway station in Derbyshire where the event was held.
As we have done before, we have combined all the images we gathered on the day.
The credits being joint D.Basford/P.M.Rose.

The livery was ‘borrowed’ from ‘Glasgow Corporation Transport’ by Mr. Geoffrey Hillditch who managed ‘HCT’ at the time.
Asked why, he said, “because I like it”.
I can’t think of a better reason!!
C131 HJN ‘UNITED’ No. 1401.
Leyland Tiger / Plaxton Paramount 3200
