The 6th Leicester Heritage Transport Trusts running day held in association with The Great Central Railway is featured in this action packed film with vintage buses and trains in operation from Quorn and Woodhouse Station.
Frequent bus trips ran around the local Charnwood area and to Loughborough Great Central Railway where there were opportunities to take a train journey back. The action begins with many of the buses including 40, 90 and 301 on Woodhouse Road on their way to the event. Some of the buses including 40 and 50 can be seen in service in the centre of Loughborough and at the Loughborough Midland Station. The action switches back to Quorn station with many buses departing and arriving back from trips. A Leyland Tiger Cub from Delaine is shown running to Barrow with a completely full load before from 12.56 onwards some of the buses are seen leaving along with some of the later trips. Look out at 13.26 for a superb 5 bus sequence involving 164, RCT3, 301 and others.
It was fantastic to see a huge variety of buses at the event which was very well attended in spite of the very cold conditions. Thankfully the heavy rain did not materialise.
I hope that I have included some of your favourites as for me hard to pick one but some of the visiting vehicles especially DSG 169 were great to have a ride on.
