"The theme is routemasters but we are also celebrating 30 years since deregulation"
"Celebrating" or commemorating??

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RMC 1458 and several RTs

Brian, I would be pleased to have a friendly chat with you over a pint of beer or glass of wine on the merits or otherwise of de-regulation of bus services 30 years ago and the current plans for allowing local agencies to re-regulate them! Such a discussion would involve expressing feelings about National and Local Government Policy and would not be appropriate on this forum!

Unfortunately I will not be able to bring ex-Kelvin Scottish RM471 to the gathering but this is not due to any feelings I may or may not have about celebrating or commemorating the event.

My bus number (if any): RMs 238, 471 and 2213, GS17

My bus number (if any): RTL 960, RM 1585, RMC 1458 and several RTs

Which ever way you look at it many of the routemasters involved in dereg have survived they might not of done
we would like a display of any routemasters who was involved in deregulation
Plus any other routemaster on June 26th

Hi Graham,

Not sure I'll be able to make this one as I'll be on holiday. Having said that, there is a similar event taking place in Glasgow at the Vintage Vehicle Trust on 8th & 9th of October to coincide with their open weekend that I will be attending in my bus to mark 30 years since deregulation there, my bus being a part of that many years ago with Clydeside Scottish. If anyone fancies joining me, let me know.

Adam.

My bus number (if any): RM2208

RM44 should be attending Brooklands in June.

My bus number (if any): RM44, RM1138
