TRANSPIRE

and the

Chesterfield 123
Preservation Group

invite you to join in the

Chatsworth Preserved
Bus Gathering 2010

to be held in Chatsworth Park

on Sunday 13 June 2010


Transpire and the Chesterfield 123 Preservation Group are once again organising the 2010 Chatsworth Preserved Bus Gathering to be held at Chatsworth House on Sunday 13th June 2010. (Please note that this date is determined by the Chatsworth authorities and neither by Transpire nor the 123 Preservation Group.)

The format of the Gathering will be much the same as in previous years (why spoil a winning formula?) which has led to the event becoming one of the premier fixtures in the preserved bus calendar!

It is hoped that the repairs to the house will be completed and this together with additional parking means that there is no entry limit for 2010. Entries are restricted to preserved buses and those "heritage" vehicles from commercial operators.

A big feature of the day will be the free scenic bus services operated to Bakewell and to the local area, with the special bus service along the private road within the grounds of Chatsworth to the Golden Gates upon which special tickets from vintage ticket machines are issued. As in previous years, a wide variety of vehicles will be used on these services.

The entry fee for each preserved vehicle is three pounds, payable in advance when sending in the application form (see opposite). All entrants and their passengers receive a voucher for discounted admission to the house and gardens.

Note that there is no admission fee to Chatsworth Park or to the event (except for car parking). It will be a good day out for all of the family and even if you are not able to come on a preserved vehicle there are excellent local bus services to Chatsworth Park. (Details here nearer the time)

There will also be sales stalls selling transport related items.
