There's a few more photos up, and a few more I'm planning to upload - but here's two of my personal favourites from yesterday's event. :)

I'm not usually one for older vehicles but this RE really struck my eye today at a rally in Stroud. JMW169P never carried Stroud Valleys livery being a Thamesdown bus from new, later needing up with Economic, though has undergone restoration into the attractive privatisation livery

Former Stagecoach Dennis Dart 33810 R810YUD is more to my taste  8) and made an appearance too after a break of 5 years of the rally scene I hear. I don't know of any other Stagecoach ALX200s in preservation...

Not really Midlands related, but I got lucky when I was down in the capital, and turned up as Stratford as the RLH running day was happening, and managed to snap a few of them.

Another opportunity to photograph 6015 arose this Sunday just gone - along with 3053 making its return debut under new ownership.

3053, F53 XOF

Rather pleased with the photos I got of 3053; it's one I've not seen for a number of years! (2017, by my last reckoning)

More to follow..

3053 returned to Coventry once again yesterday, and I'm rather pleased with the photo I got of it, arriving into the coach park in Coventry before heading out for a day of thrashing around the city. It's a shame 6015 couldn't make it this time, since I was busy on the last running day, but you can't have everything in life!
