In the past owners in the Northampton, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire area have met up for a chat and a cup of tea every now and then.
Would anyone be interested in meeting at The Shuttleworth Collection at Old Walden in Bedfordshire on Sunday the 7th Feb. all buses would be welcome, in the morning?
I have contacted them, they would be happy to see us, they have an excellent restaurant where we can have a cup of tea and a chat, as I am sure there is lots to talk about.
Let me know your thoughts.

I'll be there!

My bus number (if any): RM238, RM471 and RM2213

I'll try to be there.

I don't have as much confidence as Chris that everything will start up correctly after the winter.

My bus number (if any): RML2644

Hope to be there - could anyone confirm access arrangements for a d/d - are there any height restrictions?

My bus number (if any): RM1699 Eastbourne Regent V 69 (KHC369)

There is no problem with access, or height restrictions if you come via the A1, and turn off at Biggleswade, the Sainsburys Roundabout.
I took the family there last summer with RM1797, it was a good day out.
Not sure about coming in the other way, I have looked on Google Earth, seems a lot of trees.

All being well I'll be there with RML2391 . Hopefully Chris is still bringing his gear to recharge accumilaters.

Need to beware if coming from Bedford side as there a couple of low bridges and very narrow lanes in the area.

Just a short note to bring this event to the top. Quite a few RMs now expected on Sunday morning, 7th February. I am taking my Nitrogen accumulator charging equipment if anyone attending needs a top up.

This Sunday (31st January) I'm taking RM2213 to the Steam Gala at Great Central Railway, leaving Wansford Station (NVR) at 08.00. returning at 19.00. Anybody interested is welcome to join us. Details here

Just a note.
As well as Routemasters, there will be an RT and RF in attendance all being well.

Roughly what time is everyone aiming to be there?

My bus number (if any): RML2644

Shuttleworth opens at 9.30 on Sunday, I guess I will be there at 10-10.30 ish.
I know of at least 7 buses attending,
Should be a good day.

Really nice trip out , shame it was a bit cold and damp . Good to see everyone and the ladies that braved it as well ! No doubt the buses' benefitted from blowing the cobwebs out . Pleased to say RML2391 behaved all day , but a bit embarassing that she was the dustiest on show !
Big thank you to Chris for recharging 2391's brakes.

Now, how about trip to seaside ? Was going to suggest Blackpool but I've been with 2391 and I know Chris has been a couple of times , so how about run out to Hunstanton , BUT in the Summer ?

Great to see RM188, RM471, RM1699, RM1797, RML 2350, RML 2391 and RML 2644 out on a cold grey February day and a useful opportunity to discuss things relevant to their owners.

Here they all are.
