Bristol RE 'Mini' Running Day 2019

A mini running day using 9 Bristol REs and an AEC Merlin took place in Winchester in early November 2019 ably organised by the Hampshire Bus Preservation Group. Four routes were operated from The Broadway running to Bishops Sutton via Alresford Station (X71), to Alresford Station via Itchen Abbas (71), a Winchester circular via Pitt (45) and a run down to Otterbourne (47). There was also an Alresford to Cheriton shuttle (67). It was a great day with some lovely autumnal countryside views and a wonderful soundtrack!
