Apologies if you've already seen this but I'm doing my bit to pass the word
around! Regards, Helen C ----- Original Message ----- From: Warminster Vintage Bus Running Day To: Buses@Connectfree Sent: Monday, April 26, 2004 11:08 PM Subject: 75th Anniversary of the Cheltenham District Traction Company - Vintage Bus Event Hi All We are taking the unusual step of using our Warminster Vintage Bus Running Day email database to notify you of the following Vintage Bus event that is being organised at fairly short notice - apologies if it is not of interest to you. If you would prefer us not to send you this sort of information again, please let us know. Some of you may be aware that Stagecoach West have been planning a special vintage bus event to comemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Cheltenham District Traction Company We have now been advised that this is definately going to take place on Saturday 8th May and will include the opportunity to ride on a number of vintage buses, most of which will be appropriate to the Cheltenham/Gloucester area. The basic itinerary for the day has now been confirmed and is as follows: 1030 - 1130 Display of old and new buses at Cheltenham Racecourse 1130 - 1200 Parade of vehicles from Racecourse to Cheltenham Royal Well Bus Station and Promenade (enthusiasts will be welcome to travel on the vehicles); 1200 - 1700 Approx 50% of service 94 will be operated by new Tridents and 50% by... - Cheltenham District Bristol FSF - Bristol Omnibus Bristol LD - 2 Bristol RE's some of which are currently being retested to PSV standard especially for the day. 1200 - 1700 Free Service from the Promenade along the line of the original Cheltenham District Traction company's service 1 to Southam using... - Up to 3 Bristol L's - Bristol MW - Bristol KSW - Bristol SU (from Mikes Travel) - Stagecoach series 2 Bristol VR and possibly one or two other surprises as well ! Detailed vehicle workings should be available from the end of this week - if you would like a copy before the day, please drop an email to us at As the event is being organised at short notice, Stagecoach have asked us to help them publicise the events to enthusiasts but unfortunately our ability to do this largely limited to posting this message on the ukbus-SouthWest and Bristol Omnibus Company Yahoo Groups, plus emailing enthusiasts who attended Warminster last year. Therefore any help you can give in circulating details of the event to other enthusiasts (including posting this message on any other approriate email groups that you may be a member of) I am sure would be much appreciated (apologies if this means that some of you get this message more than once). In addition, if you own a former Bristol Omnibus / Cheltenham & District vehicle and would be willing to allow it to participate in this event, Ian Manning and Sholto Thomas at Stagecoach would still be keen to hear from you. Fuel costs will be met for all participating preserved buses and you can contact them by writing to: Stagecoach West 3rd Floor, 65 London Road Gloucester. GL1 3HF Tel. 01452 418630 or email Alternatively you can simply reply to this email and we will be happy to forward your message on to them. Regards The Warminster Running Day Team |
