  On 7th May a selection of vintage busses from various decades made their way to Quorn And Woodhouse Station on the Great Central Railway to take part in the Bus And Train Spectacular. With busses running a timetable of trips between stations and moving around the yard there was lots going on throughout the day with lots of highly polished and well kept vehicles to see all lined up. My film hopes to give an idea of the sights and sounds of the event and follows several of the buses around the site. The event is a joint collaboration of the Leicester Transport Heritage Trust and The Great Central Railway.

I visited the Great Central Railways Quorn and Woodhouse station where numerous vintage buses from across the decades and county had met for a Bus rally and heritage running day. Once a regular sight on the roads of #Leicester and also in the wider country many viewers will remember catching a "Midland Red" or a "Fox Cub" into Leicester City center and the destination board at the start of my film features many familiar stops. Also featured in this film are buses and coaches used by many for trips to the seaside in skegness or maybe to Wembley Stadium for a Leicester City Cup Final this event and the vehicles featured are sure to bring back fond memories for many. Look out for a bonus appearance by the GCR Rail car which could be described as a sort of "Bus on rails". Fun fact I found my old School Bus at the event !.
