Mark Bailey attended the 18th Kingsbridge Vintage Bus Running Day last Saturday (20 September) organised by the Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust (TV&GWOT). The weather was miserable for most of the day until the sun came out late afternoon. Around 40 buses participated in the event but despite the weather people there still seemed to be a good number of people keen to enjoy the rides.
