09.32 and ready for the off!

A line of participating vehicles in the main street in the town, which was closed for the day to other traffic.

I think the two chaps with bags and boxes are part of the team that organised this splendid event, the boxes containing the invaluable programmes.

The first departure from Whittlesey on the 341 route to Ramsey was this Scania N113/ Northern Counties, from Redfern Travel of Mansfield.

Two of the chimneys from the King's Dyke brick complex can be seen in the distance on the left.

Seen a mile or so south of Whittlesey on the B1040, the Delaine Heritage Trust's Leyland Tiger/ Duple Dominant formed the 10.45 departure to Ramsey.


I doubt if there is one telegraph pole in the Fens that stands straight, with land subsidence and wind across the flatness both contributing to them leaning. The road along here is abysmal, anything much over forty mph and you will be very likely to catch the car underside on one of the humps caused by subsidence, as did at least one of the buses!

I followed the 341 route around during the day, being the busiest with a 15 minute interval service.

Here Dan's Coach Travel's L872 SGW, Volvo B10M-61/ Van Hool, forms the 11.00 from Whittlesey.

Another four from Sunday's Fenland Busfest 2018, based around Whittlesey.

This Bristol RE/ ECW in National Express livery is seen on the 341 route, having turned to head east along the B1040 into Ramsey.
