MPX5135648: Standing out from the regular buses seen in a city centre, this collection took passers-by back in time. And the vintage buses certainly attracted crowds while parked in Newcastle city centre this week as members of the Aycliffe and District Bus Preservation Society brought their vehicles out for show. From converted double deckers to models dating back to the 1940s, this group preserves part of the transport history of North East. Pictured Peter Mitchell, left and Dave Young, with the 1949 Bristol single decker, from Aycliffe and District Bus Preservation Society, in the centre of Newcastle, 31/10/2013 (photo) / Bridgeman Images
