Buses at the Great Central Railway

 So, yesterday I walked over to Quorn and found myself at the Quorn and Woodhouse station. I was surprised not to have seen or heard any steam trains along the way, but did manage to see a few passing through Quorn while I was there. What was really very exciting was that there was a vintage bus rally on, so there were lots of old buses in the station grounds, and many of them were offering trips to Loughborough GCR. I last saw such a wonderful collection of buses on a visit to the Stoneygate tram depot in Leicester in 2018, so seeing some of the ones from that trip, here at the Quron station was great. 

As I say, many of the buses were really quite old, but one which was less so, and one which I was really thrilled to see, was the Winson bus, which follows the X26 route. I was excited because I've written about the X26 and X27 service in a book called 'A-Z of Loughborough', and it was super to be able to get a photo of one that wasn't actually moving!!!

So, here are a few photos from yesterday's bus rally - I do have more.






















And here's the wonderful Winson bus, and a slightly older one!
