Old buses today
 

On passing through Bromley this afternoon, say 2 RFs on the 227 route
and an RT posing as a 126, all in public service. Does anyone know
why?

This might explain.

Indeed it does, thanks. Shame it wasn't more widely advertised locally (at
least I didn't see anything about it)!

I only saw something about it yesterday but I don't live locally. *It's
a bit far for a speculative bit of vintage bus riding given the cold
weather. *It does seem to be an annual event now so mark up next year's
calendar.

There was a big procession of old vehicles in the West End yesterday for
a Christmas Lights tour. I had no idea about that either until after the
event. *I clearly don't pay enough attention.

It should be a yearly event, it was advertised through the Orpington
Buses Yahoo Group and probably elsewhere.

I popped along yesterday for a few hours, very good it was too and I
would certainly recommend it.

Yes and? I simply didn't know it was happening. I don't pay a lot of
attention to running days as there are now so many it's impossible to
choose which one to "visit".

Yes, very sad, I had no idea that this was happening, just chanced to be
in Tooley Street when they passed, including RT8 which I've never seen
before.

Have made diary note to check next year's event [if there is one]
