Daimler Buses Reunion

This event took place on the 16th May and was an opportunity to bring former staff members of Coventry Transport back together with some of the vehicles that they worked with. Here we see Travel De-Courcey’s Daimler along with 333 CRW from the museum and 334CRW belonging to Roger Burdett. The new bus on the left is in fact the surprisingly old Daimler Fleetline PDU 135M, also in attendance the Metrobus which was painted in Coventry colours whilst in service with WestMidlands Travel.

After posing for pictures in Broadgate the vehicles moved off to follow the old 9 route to Ernesford Grange. Then it was a Journey to Bedworth and Nuneaton for more pictures and a meeting with Ashley Wakelin’s Ex Midland Red D9.
