Huge thanks and appreciation to the Lincolnshire Vintage Vehicle Society who brought several of their vintage buses to Holbeach yesterday.
The event was very well attended and several commented on how it had been the best thing to happen in Holbeach for many years. Many remembered the old services run by the Lincolnshire Roadcar Company and a few I met had actually worked for them as drivers.
The society members were very friendly and approachable, not stuffy at all unlike some other groups and societies and it was great to be able to freely explore the beautifully restored vehicles.
I was able to talk about our own bus and our struggles to get her back on the road. I was delighted to find out that they are very interested in it and I'm hoping some professional help may be forthcoming.
A truly fantastic few hours spent photographing and riding on these classic vehicles and I hope LVVS don't leave it too long before coming back to visit us down here in South Lincolnshire.
The thoughts, ramblings and musings of a 'man with a plan' to change his life from one of a high paid professional to something completely different... I write about my struggle to achieve this and my work with those affected by anxiety & depression

Hi,
ReplyDeletePlease may I publish this photo on my Old Holbeach Facebook page? People like reminiscing about the old buses. I used to travel to Spalding High on the 65 in the late 60s/early 70s.
Nice post! This is a very nice blog that I will definitively come back to more times this year! Thanks for informative post. Online bus booking
