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.
‘Tyrers’ has a history stretching back to 1972 when Bob Tyrer at the age of 58 started his own business with a single, Leyland engined, Plaxton bodied Bedford coach.
Today, the company operates over 100 vehicles out of three separate bases in the area.
‘Tyrers’ provided the transport for our second morning until lunchtime, which was taken in Manchester.

New to ‘Minsterley Motors’, Stiperstones, Shropshire but acquired from ‘Yellow Buses’ No. VP806, Bournemouth.
It arrived at ‘Tyrers’ in 2018 and as it still retains its yellow Bournemouth livery, I suspect that it may have been used on school bus duties.
A clever ploy that, buying yellow buses rather than having the cost of re-painting them.
