Vintage bus cavalcade marks 50th anniversary of Severn Bridge

« on: July 21, 2016, 21:18:28 »

Another vintage bus calvacade from Cribbs to Chepstow over the Severn bridge. Sat Sept 10th leaving Cribbs at 1030 and SB^▸ at 1100 in convoy. Part of the Red and White running day at the Old Ferry Inn just under the bridge. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of the opening of the bridge...I was there as a 12 year old schoolboy....and the start of the much missed 300/301 Red & White buses between Bristol and Cardiff.

Edit note: Added to Coffee Shop forum calendar. CfN.

Thanks for posting this item, chuffed.

To give it wider publicity, I've split it off from the Plymouth and Exeter bus stations topic and added it to the Coffee Shop forum calendar.

William Huskisson MP^▸ was the first person to be killed by a train while crossing the tracks, in 1830. Many more have died in the same way since then. Don't take a chance: stop, look, listen.

"Level crossings are safe, unless they are used in an unsafe manner." Discuss.
