I’ve seen on a bus preservation group about it, because there is plans for a heritage bus shuttle. It’s the same weekend as Penzance bus running day

I'm booked too. Sadly, Finn will either have to stay home or, if its overcast and cool, in the car.

Yes, I will be driving down.

A grand day was had at a very breezy Long Rock TMD▸ (Traction Maintenance Depot). I'll post a selection of photos here tomorrow. In the mean time, all those I took can be viewed in my Photobucket at the following link. Rough and ready, no editing, some duplicates.
