Coventry New Year Bus Running Day 2017

This short film features action from the Bus and Coach Preservation Coventry New Year Running Day 2017.
On a bitterly cold day a variety of vintage buses operated two routes at frequent intervals to the Coventry Transport Museum and Midland Aircraft Museum. There were also some stalls selling transport related merchandise.
It was held at Butts Lane the home of Coventry Rugby League Club and this is where we see most of the action with buses arriving and departing. Some of the buses are also seen in Coventry near to the Transport Museum.

I can't seem to find info on this event for Jan 2019, maybe it's not on this year?

I don't think they are having it as the Bus and Coach Preservation Magazine are hosting a running day in Oxford on new years day and it it them who have hosted the event in Coventry.
