Vehicles from across the area came to the town to take part in a road run from Waterdale to the rally site at Hexthorpe Flats. Preserved and in service Doncaster vehicles took part in free bus services from the former Town Centre terminus at Christ Church. At 2pm, the first tram journey to Hexthorpe from the Mansion House was re-created by a parade of Doncaster vehicles showing the range of buses which have operated in the town.
