3rd May 2026 - 2026 London to Brighton Commercial Rally - A long morning spent prepping 159 (8159 EL) for the London - Brighton run this weekend, paintwork now finished and servicing all done.
Been a great weekend, Huge thanks for a great group of friends who made it possible Jon, Lewie, Phil, Peter, Ian, Vicky, James and the star of the show Bournenouth Titan 159
Hotel at Cobham service bit shit but rest of weekend has been fun.
159 has performed well although like Phil has a few leaks. Hopefully she will get us home safely! Not bad for a newly 70 year old bus, but she is given lots of TLC
This is our third visit to the Historic Vehicle Annual London to Brighton run. Devon General Admiral Blake 925 and Bournemouth Titan pd/2 131 last year (2025)
It is lovely to see all the people waving as we go by. Next year all being well Bournenouth Tiger Cub 266
