Yes, the latter certainly sounds very interesting! That would be something of interest to me

The first option appeals. As a non-clubby, non-cliquey person - and speaking for several people who aren't members here, the Daysaver ' normal ' format appeals.
Loads of us don't rate 'railtours' as they are fake.

First option, whether formally advertised or run for enthusiasts and organised by word of mouth.
Don't you start.

I like the sound of the second option. Also hopefully on a Sunday when most people are off work or school/college/uni etc

@Tony, the second option is more interesting but I don't mind either. :) I will be more than happy to pay whatever the price is. I'm really glad someone at the Head Office has thought about this. Count me in! ;D

I actually prefer option 1, I organised the Walsall one and it worked really well. I have already volunteered to drive a Spectra or Merc on strange routes. It is far easier to organise as well as no special registrations are required. It is just normal services running to normal times, and the registrations allow for duplicates 'due to passenger demand' so there is no problem with a Spectra following the normal Scania down the 39 route from Wolverhampton to Walsall taking any extra passengers 'unable to get on the service bus'

I actually prefer the first option, loved the Metro's on the X51, specialist tours are something anyone can really organise with preserved buses in years to come, let's face i, but some strange workings in normal service definitely appeals.

The second option appeals to me, you would get to see a number of garages and have one last ride on all these bus types.
Pensnett is my local garage. Favourite bus of all time is Fleetline 6360 (KON 360P).

2nd option would be great, please.
