Details are on the nx website it's free by looks of it
To quote the NX site, "disused equipment sale".

I did bag myself one of the old style printers, but didn't stay long enough to pick up one of the *defunct* Wayfarer TGX200s. Unfortunately, due to prior arrangements, I can't make it to Acocks Green.

Here's to hoping they have some left at the Bus Bash / Yardley Wood later this year... :(

@Tony said 3225 will hopefully be on there.
Does anyone know what the second bus would likely be?

We have a problem getting the Metrobus an MoT at the moment because of the speed it is capable of!
3225 will hopefully be carrying passengers if the engine goes in on time.

There's talk of combining it with the Wythall event in August. Unfortunately it will be watered down if it happens due to restricted space at the museum.

Theres plenty of space on the roads inside the Pheonix site next door.

They had a big display of PTE buses there a few years back

Not sure if they could use that now. No mention of anything happening this morning when I was up the museum.

Isle of Stroma

A quick literal 'heads up' for anyone attending the open day tomorrow. The Red Arrows are due to transit over JLR Solihull, so you might want to be aiming your cameras in that direction at a shade before 1pm ;-)

winston

Go North East's Levante 7111 BF63ZRY was parked up in AG garage earlier, not sure if another transfer for JLR work?

The only Hansons bus in preservation too, unless someone purchases one from Diamond in the future.
