The
Gifford Transport Group, who
own a substantial amount of former Lothian buses,
organised the first Edinburgh Festival of Transport in May
2004. It was held at Silverknowes Promenade in Edinburgh on a
gloriously sunny day. Not only buses attended the rally, but a
large number of commercial vehicles were also present. The
Firth of Forth provided an excellent backdrop for photographs, as can be
seen by these various views of vintage lorries. |
