What's on and event days October 2025
There's often something extra going on, whether it's a visiting car club or a full blown main event, you'll find out about it on this page.
Main Event Days:
Lots of classic bus rides and usually we have visiting vehicles and additional sales stands selling memorabilia, models and photographs.
On Main event days we run a free bus service to the museum from Birmingham Alexandra Theatre at 10.30 with a return trip late afternoon.
Special timetables are in operation and will be published a day or two before the event.​
Other Special Days:
These are days when we have a club visit or something else of extra interest. Bus and train services will be running as normal and the cafe and shop are open. Excellent family days out.

Main Event Day
Autumn Running Day
and Tribute to
West Midlands Municipals
Sunday October 5th
Before 1969, the councils of Birmingham, Walsall, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton all ran their own bus fleets. All were subsumed into the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive (WMPTE or Wumpty). Later, Coventry also succumbed to this mighty establishment. Come back with us to those halcyon days and colourful liveries.
