Lincs Bus Fleet News 10th Anniversary

 So our journey in the World of Lincolnshire Bus Fleet News has reached a major milestone. This year Lincs Bus Fleet News marks its 10th Anniversary, Since I started this group and its sister blog back in 2015, It has been a privilege to watch the group grow. We now have 704 members aboard our journey since we departed 10 years ago in 2015.

In this 10th anniversary year, I thank each and every one of you for joining the journey over the years. I thank all who have contributed items for inclusion in the Fleet News Sheet, and hope you will continue to so do, so that we, along with the organisations we work with can continue to provide the best bus and coach fleet coverage for Lincolnshire and its borders.
