Potters Bar bus garage holds family fun day
ROUTEMASTERS, old fashioned Green Line coaches and open-topped double deckers were all on parade at the weekend, as Potters Bar bus garage held its annual family fun day.
As well as being a nostalgic trip through time, the event also raised more than �1,000 for the British Heart Foundation.
Hertsmere deputy mayor Peter Knell was among the visitors, accompanied by his wife June.
The Furzefield ward councillor got behind the wheel of an old Routemaster, and was presented with a souvenir toy bus by garage manager Steve Bennett.
“It was very good – a really great day for people of all ages,” he said.
