Bristol Harbourside 22.5.05

 

 

What happened at this event?

 

A display of buses took place at Bristol's dockside Industrial Museum, and at the Amphitheatre adjacent to the Lloyds Bank building on the opposite bank of the Floating Harbour.  Vintage buses ran between the two and to other points around Bristol. 

 

We took GHT127, GHT154, AHU803. We had intended to take RTW29, but were unable to for logistical reasons at the last minute. 

 

As some of the pictures demonstrate, the weather wasn't great, but it didn't stop a lot of people coming along, seeing and riding on the buses.
