    Country Bus Rallies organised a mini running day on Sunday based on Chesham Broadway. The plan was to recreate some of the local routes that used to run in the area with the emphasis being on the 394/394D routes and the plan was to have the first buses reversing at the remote termini of Swan Bottom and Kings Ash for the first time since 1958.
    There were five buses advertised to be running, however, for various reasons only two turned up but fortunately they were the two diagrammed for the 394/394D.
    Some photos of the event can be seen here. https://paulgildersleve.smugmug.com...-2015/51056992_Tt9jK9#!i=4249753716&k=vZVr6Rp
