A Vintage Bus Trip

An afternoon and evening trip with a 1961 Bristol MW. This was to celebrate Karl T's 50th birthday.

I joined the bus at Flitwick station.

the bus departed from the other side of the road

Next stop was the Brewery Tap at Shefford and a pint of Stonehouse - KPA 4.6%

Third pub was the Engineers Arms in Henlow. No photos from here but I had a half of each Church End - Blue Norther 4%, Derventio - Mrs Claus 4% and Buntingford- Winter Gold 4.3%. This was the only place on the trip I had visited before.

Final pub stop was The Cock at Broom for a Caledonian - Autumn Red 4.4%

Lots of rooms at this pub.

We had a Mk2 TSO at the platform to drink in

Whilst there I had a pint of each of Copper Kettle - UXB 3.6% and Whistling Kite - Comfort & Joy 4.6%
