AWAYDAYS
The Museum was represented at a number of events towards the end of the 2007 season.
In September 2007 Fleetline 6757 attended the Sheffield Rally at Meadowhall. A good day was had by all, which was rounded off with 6757 winning an award for Best In Class, Buses post-1960.
Later the same month Bristol VRT 4413, WMPTE 'Jumbo' Fleetline 3913 and BMMO S23 5981 made the journey to Showbus at Duxford. The journey was made over two days, a suitable Saturday evening beer lubrication facility was duly attended also! The event itself was well attended and the exhibits from the Museum received many favourable comments. 3913 and 4413 both received two awards for winning their respective classes and coming amongst the top twenty vehicles on show. For the owners of 3913 and members who contributed to the restoration this was a much deserved reward for their efforts.
On 21 October, 6757 and BCT Guy 2976 were in attendance at Aston Manor Museum's Outer Circle Gathering. Both buses represented the Museum, and were utilised on the free bus service.
