"The Auto Shuttle was designed and developed by the Coventry company Aurrigo.

It was first tested at the NEC in 2020, where it operated autonomously along a one-mile pre-mapped section and transported more than 1,000 people during the four-week test period".

Looking at the image, it looks like a combination of a mini sweeper and tie fighter from Star Wars!

Wolverhampton Garage Open Day on 10th August has been cancelled.

I have received an email from the organisers to state that:

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, sadly the planned open day at Wolverhampton depot on Sunday 10th August 2025 has been cancelled."

The organisers thanked those that had volunteered to help, pitch stalls or exhibit buses.
