South East Bus Festival 2015-2018
One of the highlights
at the start of the year in the Bus Rally calendar is the South East Bus
Festival, which takes place annually on the Kent Showground at Detling near
Maidstone, Kent. The event began back in
2011 and the independent transport videos cameras are no stranger
to it. This programme looks at the
highlights of the buses and coaches attending the event over the years from
2015 to 2018. There is always a good
display of buses and coaches to be inspected by the public in the main display
area, with a selection of buses giving rides around the site with stops at the
many attractions which include classic cars, commercial vehicles, model steam
engines and a lot more!
This DVD
programme begins in 2015 with just a brief visit, before we view the 2016
footage, which features a parade of East Kent buses celebrating 100 years of
service from 1916 to 2016. Our cameras
also film the buses and coaches giving rides from various locations around the
showground through the years covered in this programme. This coverage extends to filming the
departure of the buses and coaches at the end of each year’s event. Many fleets are represented, not just from
the south east of England but also from many parts of the UK and even
Malta! There are many vehicle types for
you to enjoy including AEC, Bristol, Daimler, Leyland and many more. Modern vehicles include buses manufactured by
Alexander Dennis, Scania, Volvo and Wrightbus to name but a few.
So there is a lot for
you to enjoy on this DVD programme as we celebrate the “South East Bus Festival
as it brings together buses and coaches, old and new, from across the South
East and beyond”.
