Bit underwhelmed by the offerings here today, other than the superb TWPTE open topper in Jubilee livery. For some reason felt a lot quieter than previous years though it may just have been the buses were better spaced. 838 and 1723 were both conspicuous by their absence, neither has been out since Covid having previously been stalwarts of the local rally scene - anyone know what's going on with them?
We didn't arrive until after lunch but really enjoyed it. The shuttles were frequent and varied and some took their own routes, one passing our house on its way to Brasside.
I thought the buses were better laid out than in past years, too.
I did enjoy the silver jubilee open topper. Memories of a street party when I was 7 and working my way through a mug of sweets, washed down with cream soda and woodpecker sweet cider while my parents attended the adult part in the evening. My fair lady was on TV!
