Don't forget folks, it's Midland Red Day at the Transport Museum Wythall, on Sunday October the 3rd !

I believe Worcester depot are sending a bus and will be picking up from Crowngate, but I can't remember what time they said they were departing!

I'll be there but I'll probably take the car up.

Won't be attending with the Leopard am afraid. Fuel situation still bad over here, and can't risk getting stranded in Wythall even if I get diesel here. 33 gallon tank isn't enough for there and back... Gutted to say the least...

Noooo....

I'm sure you'll be able to find something, I've been out and about all day and I've not seen any long queues at petrol stations. Yes, some say "no petrol" or "no diesel", but it's not as bad as it was earlier in the week. I still think you should bring it, even if we have to drain some out of another bus... First wont notice!

Are you still coming up as a visitor in your car?

No mate, will have to give it a miss. Again,diesel supply issues....
Hope the day goes well and look forward to pictures!

Just in case you haven't looked up the running times from The Transport Museum, Wythall Event Day on Sunday 3 October 2021 a fantastic selection of Midland Red Buses and coaches is promised. Here is a link to the timetable / programme;

Excellent day out, many thanks to all the volunteers and bus owners who organised a successful event day. Apologies if I didn't manage to have a chat, but spent a large proportion of the day at the Maypole or riding on some of the preserved buses and coaches.

A few more photographs, with apologies to our Mr DD12 for cutting off part of the roof of 6015, but couldn't miss that shot with someone waving!

A few more pictures.

Thanks very much Tim, great photos as always !

I will post a "report" soon, - and I now have my first ever photo of me aboard a DD12 !!

Cheers !!
