So we’ve had a Refresh!

From today we are no longer Called The Midlands Bus Preservation, we’re simplifying everything.

32644 is currently still part of our Collection we are in talks at the moment with a buyer and a update will be posted on that once we know more information on what’s going on

We’ve gone from 4 to 2 buses now and to be quite honest it’s made things a lot easier to manage now

18071 is currently having a huge exterior Tidy up which everyone has seen recently and Simon has done an absolutely incredible job of her refresh!

16782 is to be having a new header tank fitted so we can finally get her through a MOT and back on the road again by the end of this year

We’ve decided the new name makes it easier now for followers as before the old name really made sense when we had 3+ vehicles!
