I was present at the event, despite having to come from Rhyl since i was on holiday at the time, it was an amazing event to travel to, hoping to go again next year.
When you see the Crosville Bristols lined up ,how smart they were,in them days they had a bit of style,so did most of the 60s and 70s ,the Nationals did there job and looked good.
I don't know that area well but I think in NBC times Hooton would have been Crossville territory and across the north side of the Mersey Ribble territory.I went on a Ribble once in about 1984 from Newcastle to Carlisle and I think that it was a United coming back as it was a joint service.
It's Northern Counties. NCME only ever bodied 11, all RESLs, six of these for SHMD and five to a different design for Burnley Colne & Nelson. THis is the last survivor.

Wow - those RELH's look magnificent.....the most perfectly balanced coach design ever produced - in my opinion!
Yes. I agree with you. Unfortunately, I don't think I have ever travelled in one.

I love the guy in the mk2 National, all the gear and no idea!
Nice to see a Wilts & Dorset VR.

Today we seem to import many of our buses. Are they selling us the technology which we invented?
Whose bodywork is that Bristol RE - YLG717F?
