A free 701 shuttle service will operate between Smallbrook Queensway and Cannon Hill Park, every 30 minutes.
Other services to the park include the 1, 45, 47 and 35. Plus theres the 63, 144 and X61 a bit further away on the Bristol Road. If you are using the Harborne or Hagley Road service, you can change at Five Ways for the 1 to the park.

Should be a good event this and hoping it's well attended! Credit to all involved with organising it! There's also the On the Buses event at SVR so a busy weekend for enthusiasts! Plus Showbus the week after!

I should be able to make it to this one, had to miss the Pensnett open day since it clashed with a WBA fixture. I likely won't use the shuttle though, as it's easier for me to go 126 > 11A/C > Bristol Road.

Just seen a new post on the NX Historic Society and Yardley Wood Bus Club facebook page that says a shuttle bus service will also be operating from Bristol.

We have had a request from the 1910 Group.
We're bringing R910 BOU, and will be running a shuttle from Bristol. It'll be departing Bristol fashion (outside Beefeater), time tbc, but it'll be around 7:00am so we can arrive in Birmingham around 9:00am. Asking for donations for fuel, around £10 if possible, as without it we can't afford to do these events. If you are interested please contact:-
info@bh1910.co.uk
https://www.facebook.com/1910Group/
PLEASE show these guys some love and SHARE the post!!
Anyone living in or around Bristol and are interested in coming to our event, drop them an email.
Thanks everyone :)

I (hopefully!) should be able to attend. I'll catch the 35 to Willows Road and walk down. When done I will catch the 1 to Five Ways.

I'm hoping to use two reserve fleet Tridents on the shuttle, so it may be the last time they are ever used in service

[Sandy Lane]

This sounds a good un and its free!
The one thing I cant see is how many buses will be turning up!

ps also not so far to get to compared going to the Bewdley event.

[Tony]

I got approval today to use reserve fleet Tridents on the shuttle providing two are fit to use.

I also got approval for a line up in the park of 18 vehicles. This will hopefully be
An E200
A Scania
A mk1 B7RLE
A mk2 B7RLE
An E200MMC
A Trident
A Volvo B7/ALX400
A Volvo B7/Gemini
A Scania Omnicity
An E400 (crimson)
An E400 (new Coventry)
A StreetDeck
An E400MMC Crimson
An E400MMC Platinum
A Daimler CVG6
A Mercedes Citaro
A Volvo B5LH/Gemini
An E400H

So at least one of every type of vehicle currently in passenger use in the West Midlands fleet

Will the new driver trainers be there by any chance
