It was great, to be honest. Stayed on site for no longer than an hour, though - that's considering that I didn't buy any food/refreshments; however I did make up that time by circling the merchant stalls a few times, as well as dawdling around the buses on displays..

The event finishes at 4. You should try and make it down there, the ride on the Streetdeck, if you haven't rode one already, is very smooth indeed. Quite a short journey from Kings Heath.

On another note, anyone know of any future events? Preferably Free/Midland-based. :)

I had never rode one of the Streetdecks before and as you said it was very smooth. I only stayed for 90 mins though but did enjoy getting photos of the lineup. Give me an hour and I will post all future midland based events @clayderman  :)

Nice lineup of buses on display and managed to get some photos
And meeting some fellow forum members.


Hopefully more future events is expected soon.

Thanks, @Dylanbusboy45 - Very helpful, indeed. Would've checked the ShowBus Events page, but the layout is all messy and hard to pinpoint the ones that may be of interest to me. Again, thanks. 😊

I appreciate the feedback and thanks for the insight.

Sadly I'm too far away to get there before 4, if it was 5 I could just about make it. Oh well. I look forward to see photos posted by members.

The list posted above is great but is anyone aware of events which include NX or more specifically open days ?
