Grab your timetable and your bus pass; we’ve partnered once again with Transport Museum Wythall to host one of the UK’s largest rallies for bus fans on Saturday 5 July. Visit the show to discover over 100 restored, vintage and modern buses from up and down the country. There will even be a display for post-2000 buses as their popularity and preservation grows, including the more recent hybrid and electric buses, creating a diverse show that all bus fans can enjoy!
Visitors can also enjoy free heritage bus rides around local routes and the Museum’s internal road network. To complement the show a number of indoor and outdoor traders will also be joining the Wythall Busfest bringing a variety of 'bus' related items for visitors to browse and purchase including books, DVDs, models and more - a perfect place for visitors to shop for a unique gift or for a new addition to an existing collection.
Entry to the Museum is included in the ticket price and there are over 400 historic British cars to explore both within the main Museum and the Collections Centre. It’s not just cars, though, we even have a 1923 AEC S-type bus to see, too!
Hop on a bus and enjoy a free ride!
It wouldn’t be a bus day without the chance to ride so throughout the day you can jump onto a selection of buses and take a ride around the local routes and Museum roads for free.
