Friend Peter Rose is rapidly becoming our ‘Scottish Correspondent’.

 

This last few months has seen him gathering bus images in Edinburgh, Dundee and now Glasgow.

 

As usual, his images reproduced here are posted with his permission and my thanks.

 

All were taken at Buchanan Street Bus Station.

‘Scene’ at the Bus & Coach show at the NEC in 2019 on Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

The annual B&C show at the NEC has been cancelled for 2020 because of the Covid 19 Pandemic.

 

Regular readers/viewers of my blog will know that I would normally have published a number of blogs built round what was new in the 2020 show.

 

As I am not able to do so, I will fill the gaps created by re-running some of the highlights from previous shows.

 

Sometimes (but not always) a veteran bus from earlier years  puts in an appearance.

 

The 2019 show today.

 

Tomorrow? who knows.

 

The 2021 show is scheduled for the end of October 2021 and hopefully, I will be there but a lot of water has got to go under a lot of bridges before then.

 

Meanwhile, I hope you have enjoyed this trip down memory lane. 

 

Be positive and stay safe.

The bus that drives itself. There is a driver but he is simply a safety feature.

 

The battery of sensors that surround the bus do its thinking for it.

Unfortunately, ‘Nova Tours’ were one of the first business victims of the Covid 19 pandemic going out of business in April 2020.

 

Speaking personally, My wife and I will miss Nova, we have had many enjoyable holidays with the company.
