Although the Bath Christmas Market started on Thursday the 23rd November, the 25th was the first date that the market was on at a weekend. I took a visit to Bath as I expected it to be busier than the usual flow of coach traffic, and it certainly was.
Along with the usual’s like Premium Tours, Redwing, Golden Tours and other local private hires, there was a lot of visitors for the market too, and as expected there was a lot of coaches from the Welsh boys.
I have a gallery on my Flickr of the coaches I snapped in Bath that day, and if you wish to see them, click on the picture below:
I have also compiled a log of the coaches I saw between 10:00 and 16:00 (I would have stayed later if it wasn’t so cold!)
