Sunday 10th June 2007 sponsored by Stagecoach in Peterborough

 

Thanks to all the buses that traveled to this event, the stall holders, everybody who attended and all the volunteers who worked hard before, during and afterwards. The free bus services to and from the city centre and Nene Valley Railway carried a large number of passengers. Most people seemed to enjoy the event and everybody I spoke to said it should be repeated next year. If you didn’t get a programme you can download it by clicking here.
