DSCF1931 Preserved Birmingham 2489 (JOJ 489) - Fenland Busfest - 20 May 2018

Sunday 20 May 2018 (1057) - The annual Fenland Busfest is impressively organised by the Eastern Bus Enthusiasts Group and staged in Whittlesey, Cambridgeshire. As part of the event a number of rally entrants participate in running on a network of free bus services throughout the day which depart from the Buttermarket, the main square of the town.

JOJ 489, a Crossley bodied Crossley DD42 that was new to Birmingham Corporation Transport (2489) in the summer of 1950, was about to do a trip to the Fenland hamlet of Turves. I jumped aboard for a ride.
