Bus Running Day for Ukraine - Lewes - 3.4.2022

This was the oldest vehicle in the event. Although it seems to have been confined to local trips, anyone who know Lewes will know that the hills in the town are quite steep in places, so it was not an easy ride for it. Lewes is one of the largest towns in the South Downs National Park, hence this bus' appearance in the South Downs National Park group gallery.

One of the smartly liveried buses of this local firm, which provides a range of school, rail replacement and other chartered services. Some of its vehicles and services have been acquired by Seven Sisters Bus and Coach.

Not part of the Bus Running Day, this bus with its dedication to Martin Fisher and its encouraging message certainly complemented the charitable event by its presence.

These three photos from the charity Bus Running Day have been chosen for the Theme of the Week group as they have a bit more connection to either the event's purpose - the Ukrainian Appeal - or to me.* This was the first bus to transport passengers from Seaford to Lewes as part of the Ukrainian Appeal Bus Running Day on 3.4.2022. It used to be part of the London Transport bus fleet. It is showing the destination of Dulwich Plough (a public house in south London). That is one of the routes that passed close by our home when we lived in London. So it was a good omen for an enjoyable event. This one may have missed the group's Sunday evening deadline. As I uploaded a set of photos for a previous 'Theme' during the evening on a Sunday, I am constantly left with finding that I do not have spaces for the three permitted contributions and have to remove earlier contributions, so I will not add anything this week! This will enable me to make contributions earlier in following weeks!
