For some years now, this event has been held at the ‘Peak Rail’ site at Rowsley in Derbyshire.
There was plenty of room for the 35 or so buses the event attracted together with the added bonus of the trains provided by ‘Peak Rail’.
This year being steam only.
A return to the traditional June date was welcome because last year the event was held in August due to the problems caused by the Covid 19 pandemic.
