Winchester- The Rear Engine Bus Running Day

The historic city of Winchester is no stranger to superbly run bus rallies and running days. The event you will see on this DVD programme is no exception. Planned and managed by 18 year old Daniel Raynor, as part of a college course work project, Daniel and his colleagues organised this vintage Bus Running day. As the title suggests, all the buses featured in the running day were rear-engined buses built from 1960s-1990s. Vehicle types include: Bristol RE, Bristol VR, Leyland Atlantean, Leyland Panther, Leyland National, Leyland Olympian, AEC Swift, MCW Metrobus and a DAF Optare Spectra. As well as exploring the 'Rear Engine Bus Running Day' that was held in March, this DVD also takes a look at contemporary bus operations around the city. These locations include: City Road, Jewry Street, St George's Street, Silver Hill, the Broadway and the bus station. From the city streets we see 'The King's City' vehicles alongside ALX400 and E400 double-deckers.
