London Transport DL83
Did
you guess what this is?
London
Bus day at the Museum of Transport in Manchester. It was a really
good
event, expertly organized by Kelvin Platt and his colleagues. A grey
drizzly
What
I particularly liked:
- Great
organisation, expertly produced programme, attendance certificates and
admission tickets
- Being inside
on a dull damp day
- Excellent
skilled help reversing the vehicles into the tightly packed formation.
- Friendly
welcoming staff
- Well-behaved
patient enthusiasts
- The care
taken to provide uncluttered and interesting photo opportunities for
the photographers
- The steaming
mugs of tea, bacon butties, pies and mushy peas in the museum canteen
- The museum
itself with loads of beautifully presented exhibits and detailed
information displays.
- Seeing RM406
straight out of the BusWorks.
