| Once again the
Cobham bus rally moved home this year - Longcross test track being chosen
to host the event. It is an enormous site which allowed
vehicles to be organised into logical groupings - Routemasters, preserved
vehicles, vehicles currently in service and pre-war buses. The
weather was warm and sunny and the rally was well attended.
Highlights included a Highland Albion Lowlander (right), and the
first appearance of a London Transport Leyland Cub (middle below)
and a Kentish Bus Routemaster (bottom). |
