Bus & Transport Events, Rallies and Open Days

[DJ]

I thought it'd be a good idea to have a single thread where information pertaining to various events that forum members would be interested in could be posted, rather than having tidbits of information spread out across various threads.

To start with, what is likely the largest event of the year, Showbus, is returning again to Donnington Park on Sunday 30th September 2018, for their 46th event. Tickets start at £5 for Under 16s, with standard admission on the gate set at £14. There is free parking available, as well as various trips on buses and coaches to and from the event, including one ran by The Green Bus, which can be purchased through the Vamooz app. There's more information on their website at https://showbus.com/.

Now, with that said, I've heard mentions of a Yardley Wood open day that could be happening in the future, as well as a return to Cannon Hill Park for another annual bus bash. Is there any concrete information on these yet or is it just rumours?

Yardley Wood is the 10th, I believe. Though, I'm open to correction.

:o I thought I'd miss out on the 10A running day; guess I'm lucky that it's been rescheduled. Hope everything works out by then!

Thanks for confirming those, Tony. Are you able to confirm the dates for the 10A running day, and the YW open day, at all? Also, do you know of any local companies that would be running any trips to Gaydon at all? Thanks.

The Green Bus are advertising a trip on the Vamooz app.

Showbus organisers are saying it's likely to be their last year at Donnington Park this year as the site owners don't appear to be keen on buses...

Thanks for the heads up, I had a nice trip with them to Stoke a while back so I'll have to re-download the app and get it booked in.

Yes, the last one was a good event at Cannon Hill. I'm looking forward to this event and hope to be there.
