Winchester Friends of King Alfred Running Days 2016

The annual Friends of King Alfred Buses (FoKAB) running day had traditionally been held on January 1st over many years. Now the event has moved to the evening of Saturday 30th April and all day, Sunday 1st May. The independent transport videos cameras were on hand to record the event for you to enjoy. On the Saturday evening a network of ten routes were operated using four former King Alfred buses. Filming starts on the Broadway as we board WCG 104, a 1959 Leyland Tiger Cub with Weymann bodywork for the service 3 journey to Lower Stanmore and back. Filming on Sunday starts at the St Catherine's Park & Ride site, which is the base for the visiting vehicles and the starting point for all non King Alfred services. A good deal of our filming records the continuous action on the Broadway, but also in the Bus Station, Friarsgate, Eastgate Street and Bridge Street. Apart from the large FoKAB collection of buses and coaches there are over twenty preserved buses and coaches to see in service.
