Sunday 30 September 2007 – 19th Amersham Running Day – based on car park near Amersham Station.

This year marked the 30th anniversary – to the day – of the closure of High Wycombe (HE) garage. A wide variety of routes were operated from Amersham with several serving High Wycombe. A large number of stalls were at the Amersham site in the underground section of the car park selling models, photographs and all manner of transport memorabilia.

It was quite a chilly day, but with clear skies and no rain it was a perfect day for a Running Day.  As usual, it was a very popular event with some buses running to full capacity.

A static display could be found on the car park near Amersham Station with some interesting displays such as the new Arriva orange Optare about to take over the new 39 route in High Wycombe.  Catering was provided by Big Al who makes a mean burger and a great cup of tea.

Frequent departures on a variety of routes to places such as Prestwood, Great Missenden, Aylesbury, West Wycombe, High Wycombe, Gerrards Cross, Slough, Penn, Windsor and Staines and some 50 running vehicles made the day varied and interesting.
