All vehicles are subject to availability and none can be absolutely guaranteed to appear.

More vehicles being added, if you have a relevant ex-United Counties vehicle or something that would represent a vehicle that they would have used (i.e. NBC Lodekka) then contact our events officer on ntheritage@talktalk.net 07816676175, we would love to hear from you, particularly those with older Counties vehicles.

There will be some stalls, vehicles on static display and free short trips on former local routes.

We will keep updating this event as soon as more information is known.
