Vintage Midland Red Bus and St. Peter's Church Tour

The bus will be parked outside Rugby Visitor Centre from 10:00, where you can enjoy an informative chat about the town of Rugby or learn more about the History of the Bus and Midland Red.

Hop on and reminisce and enjoy a nostalgic trip. The bus has 45 dual-purpose comfortable seats and is very similar to buses that operated out of Midland Red's Rugby garage.

There will be two trips at 11:00 and 14:00 around Rugby, taking in Dunchurch and stopping at St. Peter's Church, for a brief tour and refreshments. The tour will last approximately two hours.

Accessibility: please note the bus has three steep steps. Ramps are available to access the church.
