Stonham Barns in Suffolk held their second Big Bus Show, this year organised by The Eastern Counties Bus Preservation Group. The first show attracted around 30 busses and coaches and was held in the very hot conditions of last summer, something that ironically effected attendance.  

This year saw over 80 buses and coaches attend ranging from 1930’s to the latest electric bus just entering service in Cambridge. Public attendance was also up with over 1000 visitors through the gates. They were able to walk around and look at the exhibits and also enjoy an increased sales area with stalls selling all items bus and coach related. 

During the day some of the buses and coaches operated a shuttle service between the event and Stowmarket. This also provided the opportunity for people to take a ride on  some of the older vehicles in attendance.
