ADMIRALSCORNER Thank you, I treat that as a real compliment. Would have been pleased to see you. However not surprised I missed you as we went on all six services except the Stoke St Mary trip. Spent very little time at Castle Green. I finished schooling in 1956 in Dartford. The coach on display built by Beadles was their demonstrator. We had a school trip to their works and were taken on a ride to Gravesend and back on the demonstrator and it might well have been that very coach. Must try to ride on it next year.
TriflingCircle I suppose I was too busy at the event to ride on any of the buses except for getting there from BL. It is interesting to see the changes along the way in this video of yours taken a year ago.
We get the best seat in the bus! Glad to see the results of your new camcorder Gordon. The quality is great! I used to ride to school in a similar utility Guy bus with the long seats upstairs. In those days we were surrounded by cigarette smoke from people going to work which couldn't have been very healthy!
Never smoked myself. Were we not told it was good for you? Steadied the nerves!! I took the Bishops Lydeard bus again late afternoon and was dropped ner my home. A bonus appreciated.
So good to see this classic journey again Gordon.
Thanks for the video. A beaut bus ride but a pity it was so short.
lovely video on a bright spring day, blue sky, until the rain
Thanks. The rain did not last long and did not spoil the day.
What a classic video this is of yours Gordon. Shame I didn't see you at this years event!
