I am so sorry this post is bit later due to being away with family. On Sunday saw Mid Norfolk Railway organising it's first vintage bus day from Dereham in Norfolk. In total twenty-two different bus and coaches were present with three coming from the event's supporters Konectbus. This was in the form of one Mercedes Benz Citaro 800, which was freshly painted in the Norwich Park and Ride Service livery and two Alexander Dennis Enviro400s, with the 617 in Konect express livery and the 623 looking very smart wearing the Norwich Park and Ride service livery.

In addition to Konectbus present, there were five Bristol RE's in attendance with the LS829 traveling up from the Ipswich Transport Museum. Recently preserved by Leon Wells ex Ipswich Buses double decker East Lancs bodied Volvo Olympian 41 was attending. Leading on from this, Richard Walker's recently acquired from Caters, Bristol VR Open top double decker bus OT3 was also present within the event.

Throughout the day there were trips out and about across Dereham itself, this including a brief trip to Konectbus premises in outskirts Dereham. The whole event was very enjoyable and it was a very hot and sunny afternoon. The last picture to leave you with is the Ipswich Transport Museum Bristol MW LS829 on Norwich Road in Ipswich.
