Hats off to Martin Isles and the team for procuring such a beautiful venue to host Showbus 2015 (personally, I never much cared for Duxford). Yes, there were problems with the traffic, and the parking, and the mud (and I really do sympathise with wheelchair users in that regard) but on balance the event was top notch, and fine weather was the icing on the cake.
This video (split into 3 for technical reasons) is my attempt to film as many rally entrants as I could. 225 vehicles were filmed as they arrived at Woburn, between about 8:20 and 12:20 on the morning of 20th September - a few slipped by but I’ve got most of them. There is also some footage of the gathering itself, but not until half way through Part 3. If you were there, have a look to see if you recognise yourself!
About the captions: much of the information is drawn from buslistsontheweb.co.uk, and my thanks to the noble individuals who maintain this incredibly useful site - step forward and take a bow. I should, however, stress that the operator name cited in each caption is usually the company or legal entity that first registered the vehicle, not necessarily the present owner.
This will be my last UK video this year - I’m off to Hong Kong again in November for a banquet of buses!
