White Royal Blue
Another succesful FoKAB Bus Rally & Running Day, and another day to catch up with many of my close friends and contacts. We were blessed with wall to wall sunshine, from early this morning right through to late afternoon. The scenery across Wiltshire and Hampshire, on a frosty, cold but sunny morning is breath taking but made for a great trip with the group, in a great vehicle ;-).
The VR was used a the X96 feeder to Winchester from Swindon via Marlborough & Andover, and was used on the three services during the day. Heartfelt thanks go out to Mark, Stu, Dave, Ian, Terry and Graeme for helping out with the driving, and also to Mike Ede and the Stroud RE group for allowing another session behind the wheel of 2062 on Park & Ride duties.
FoKAB do know how to organise a terrific Running Day, and I think that not enough is made of the effort that is put in by this great set of people especially Ruth and Keith Andrews who organise the schedule. Apologies for not being able to cover the extra journeys this afternoon, but one does have a fuel budget to stick to!
Here's to 2012, New Years Day 2011 at Winchester wont be happening in the Reynolds household, as I need a decent blow out for a change, and London is calling for an overnight bender!
