The Midland Branch are planning to visit operators in the Stroud and Nailsworth areas, for further information and joining arrangements see their Branch pages.

Welsh Bus Fest at Chepstow Race Course, featuring a Red & White gathering. Further information awaited.

A joint meeting with the E&S Branch will be held in Eastleigh, featuring a talk by Phil Stockley, MD of Solent Blue Line, a well-known enthusiast. Given the news that Musterphantom (the Southern Vectis Group) has been sold to Go-Ahead, this will surely be an event of considerable interest to look forward to.

The meeting will be held at the Point Centre, close to Eastleigh bus and railweay stations, at 14:00. Mr Stockley has also agreed to a morning visit to the Barton Park depot complex, a short walk from the stations, at 11:30.
