New Years Day Wrexham and Chester Charity Bus Running Day

 The Annual New Year's Day charity event was held again mainly centred at the King Street Bus Station.

It was an extremely enjoyable day - apart from the weather which was quite wet and at times very cold.

Well over 20 buses and coaches were involved in the three routes with a number of other vehicles being seen at the Bus Station.  About 50 return journeys were available for enthusiasts and public alike to enjoy.

I am not going to list every vehicle seen but some favourites of the day appear below:-
