This evening (21st February 2015) there’s a great, innovative event taking place at Aston Manor Road Transport Museum just off Northgate, Aldridge – Buses by Night, which is your chance to ride on some great old vehicles and see the local sights and photography hotspots – like Lichfield Cathedral – at night.

The museum also posted the following additional info:

Extra feeder service from Birmingham on Saturday! For the Buses by Night event, Roger Burdett will be bringing the Wilts and Dorset Bristol K and will be at Moor St Queensway (opp Moor St Station) at 13.58 and depart for Aldridge at 14.01. Don’t miss the chance for a longer ride on this superb bus! Return journey leaves Aldridge (Shenstone Drive) at 20:00.
