The West Country Historic Omnibus & Transport Trust

WHOTT is very grateful to Go Southcoast subsidiary Damory for sponsoring the event and displaying some of its own vehicles, and to West Dorset District Council for allowing us space in the Top o' Town car park for the static vehicles and layover of buses between services, and for enabling us to run a stall by special licence. The public car park was still operational for other visiting coaches and the general public, and benefitted from an on-site cafe and toilets open all day. Illustrated reports have appeared in the local press and enthusiast publications.

A fully illustrated souvenir programme provided a guide to each route, as well as timetables and details of vehicles attending, and a few copies of the programme remain for those who would could not attend. Finally, the event launched our new book, The Premises and Facilities of Western National and Southern National – Part Two M-Y written by our chairman Robert Crawley. Details of how to order all this are given on our shop page.

The Trustees are extremely grateful for the time and effort freely given by volunteers to make the rally a success. Many thanks to everyone who made the day run smoothly and we hope that you will be able to support us again in 2018.

Robert Crawley, Chairman.
