‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit ‘JOHNSON BROS. 4’ 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.

 

The fourth visit of the second day was to ‘Johnsons’ facility in Worksop, Notts.

 

I say facility because it seems to serve several purposes. A workshop and repair centre which covers both in house and third party work and a very smart showroom.

Like the ‘REDFERN TRAVEL’ fleet visited earlier, the ‘JOHNSON BROS.’ fleet has a very swish service vehicle to back up the drivers and vehicles out on the road.

‘Scene’ on a PSV Circle Organised Visit ‘REDFERN TRAVEL ’ 2 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.

 

The second visit of the second day was to ‘REDFERN TRAVEL’ who work out of a large modern depot at Mansfield Woodhouse, Notts.

 

The company are part of the ‘JOHNSON BROS. TOURS’ (JBT) group of Hodthorpe, Worksop, Notts. 

 

(More of which another day).

 

The fleet comprises a mixture of luxury coaches, which are a familiar sight across the UK, together with a fleet of double deck buses which are occupied on contract work.

It must give the group’s drivers a lot of confidence to know that if they encounter any difficulties they have this superb vehicle to call on.
