HUNDREDS of enthusiasts turned out to see a parade of classic buses in the region at the weekend.
The Yorkshire Air Museum at Elvington, near York, was the venue for the event which attracted owners of vintage vehicles from as far afield as Bedfordshire and Northumberland as well as North Yorkshire, Cleveland and County Durham.
The rally was organised by the Routemaster Owners' Club and most entries represented preserved examples of the iconic and durable London double-decker, the last of which were withdrawn from regular service at the end of 2005, leaving only a handful to operate special heritage routes in the capital.
A 42-year-old Routemaster preserved and entered by event organiser Mike Mann, of Stockton, was painted in a special colour scheme applied to mark the 175th anniversary of the start of mass public horse-drawn transport in London by George Shillibeer in 1829.
