BUSES FESTIVAL NOW AT SYWELL AERODROME

COMMENT with JAMES DAY

Already booked to come to this year’s Buses Festival is lowbridge Weymann-bodied AEC Regent III MXX 232, new in 1952 as London Transport RLH32 and preserved in the livery of Samuel Ledgard, the Leeds operator that had similar vehicles in its fleet.

With the clocks changing at last and the days becoming longer and (hopefully) brighter, a season of bus industry events is approaching. Now that pandemic restrictions appear to be thing of the past, the disruption of the previous two years, and debates, confusion and speculation on whether or not events will run is hopefully all over. I’m looking forward to a summer of normality at last.

Buses Festival is of course being held this summer, on August 7. However, there is a change which I need to make you aware of, which is that we’ve had to change the venue. The East of England Showground is no longer able to host the festival due to circumstances outside of our control. Therefore, Buses Festival will take place at Sywell Aerodrome in Northamptonshire. We’ve successfully secured the same August 7 date as previously planned for this year, which I hope will limit disruption and inconvenience caused by this change.
