Yes we were down in Cambridgeshire yesterday and afterwards met up with my sister Sue and Graham at Northampton, after dinner we headed home and got back about 00.30. Thus there was no blog yesterday and we were indeed late on parade this morning after catching up from a day which had started at 4.30am. We got to Cambridge in the middle of the morning rush hour and the light was quite even so we caught quite a few of the early services then had breakfast at M&S before carrying on to conclude the requisite footage and then headed back up to Peterborough where I met up with one of our viewers a local enthusiast who knew the low down on all the vehicles and amazingly I was there to see the 390 which is a once a week service from the remnants of the once prolific independents which really these days just means Delaines. A security guard from foreign parts came out and queries if we were allowed to do video, I assured him I'd done so for decades, anyway he shuffled off and next time just walked past me, incredible how they travel around the world, wash up in England just to annoy bus enthusiasts there must be whole empty continents somewhere! The drivers just like Cambridge gave a great Cambridgeshire welcome to us and although the light was sometimes tricky is was ok for the most part and yet another volume in our Peterborough coverage has been added. This leaves a few targets on our bus hit list and of course there are whole areas not covered in 2016, thus 2017 looks like being more busy than ever with several possible new truck locations that may well be added to our rota. Photos then from Cambridge yesterday morning, there should be clips on Youtube by this evening and the DVDs are being made today along with those from Lymm earlier in the week. We caught a dad and son combo in action much to the delight of the little fellow, happy to oblige with his special Youtube clip, hope you get to our DVD shop for Christmas! Comments are closed.
