GNU568N Hampshire to Nottingham

Saturday 18th May

Moving GNU568N (Trent 421) to its temporary summer home in Nottingham. I was a passenger.

I produced the image below to celebrate the move up north.

 First stop was at a service station on the M1. Toddington I think.


 And then in Loughborough we ran around on some of the bus's former routes.
Part of Sainsburys is the old bus station
