GREAT ENTHUSIASTS' TOUR OF ALL FIVE ARRIVA YORKSHIRE DEPOTS - EASTER MONDAY 2007

Thirty-three bus enthusiasts took part in the first-ever tour of all five Arriva-Yorkshire depots on Easter Monday, 9th April 2007. I organised the event, and Arriva provided the bus (664) for the tour. Guest star was prototype Leyland Lynx C920 FMP, kindly brought along by owner Adam Smith, whose pictures of the tour are now on his Fotopic site (link below):

Pictures of the event are now on my Fotopic site (link to the right). If you couldn't make it on the day and would like a souvenir programme for £1.50 (proceeds to the Sick Children's Trust), please e-mail me. A total of £71.24 was raised on the day. Thank you to all who came along and contributed.

STOP PRESS: The 2008 tour was on Sunday 20th April. This year we raised £429.67 for the same cause.
