Hi

I thought you might like to know that the Weymouth Vintage Bus Running Day is once again being held on Sunday 20th June 2010. FREE vintage buses run to all different places in and around Weymouth including Bowleaze Cove, Nothe Fort and Portland Bill and much more. The event will be held at Weymouth College which is right next to Lodmoor Coach Park and the Sea Life Centre. The FREE bus service 454 will connect Weymouth Railway Station to the rally site at 09:55, 10:45, 11:15, 11:45 and approximately hourly thereafter.

This event attracts a large number of visitors every year and is very popular, including this event which is being held in Torquay on Sunday 5th September 2010. 

I would highly recommend the Portland Bill bus ride as this journey gives spectacular views of Chesil Beach. There is a static display of buses next to the departure area with stalls selling a wide range of bus and train merchandise. Me and my mum attended last year and it was very enjoyable and fun to have FREE bus rides on vintage buses. We shall be attending again this year by train and then taking the FREE bus service from the railway station forecourt to the rally site (approx 10 mins journey).

For more information visit www.weymouthvbrd.co.uk and if you do decide to attend have a lovely day and we will see you there.

Thanks

This event has also been added to our calendar, at http://www.firstgreatwestern.info/coffeeshop/index.php?topic=6930.0

William Huskisson MP (Member of Parliament) 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.
