We’ll be proudly flying the flag for Britain’s bus heritage at Bus & Coach Expo next week. Thanks to B&C Expo for their generosity in hosting us as their guest charity stand. We have been delighted by their enthusiasm for our project.

I've just finished listening to all six episodes and really enjoyed them. I think "podcast" probably undersells this series; they're documentaries that wouldn't sound out of place on @BBCRadio4 or @bbcworldservice. Thank you very much to Mr Sheppard and the NARTM.
