Road Transport Museum - Special Open Day

Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum is holding a special open day on Sunday 25 October, from 10am to 4pm, and it's billed as their final event of the year. If you've never been, it's a volunteer-run place on Whisby Road in North Hykeham, and open days are when they get the fleet out of the sheds. The vehicles move, visiting buses arrive from other collections, and you can wander through the workshop and see what a Gardner engine looks like in bits.

There are more than 60 historic vehicles to look around, and the day is built on getting them out and running. The line-up of buses taking to the road includes FHN 833, a Bristol L5G; KDT 393 and JDN 668, both AEC Regent IIIs; JK 8418, a Leyland Lion LT8; PFE 542V, a Bristol VR; and LFW 326, a Bristol Lodekka. Joining them is 519 FHN, a Bristol MW visiting from another collection. Several of these will be heading out on rides around the local area, though those are subject to availability on the day, so it's worth getting there early if you want to climb aboard.

Beyond the buses, there's memorabilia and stalls to browse, and light refreshments are served throughout the day. The museum has full disabled access, and while there's on-street parking nearby, the limited museum parking for blue badge holders needs to be booked in advance. Entry is free, and since it's the last one of the year, it's the final chance to see the fleet in motion before they tuck in for the winter. It runs from 10am to 4pm on Sunday 25 October at the Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum, Whisby Road, North Hykeham, LN6 3QT.
