I'm there this weekend and there are a huge number of buses from far and wide. The bus that took us from Bicester P&R was from Brighton & Hove.

I nearly posted about this myself. Saw 4x Stagecoach E400MMCs travelling down the M1 early on Friday morning which I assume will have been heading that way. Quite possible there were more as I saw the first just as I joined at 29A (going in the opposite direction).

A number of First Essex double deckers are there, taken from all four depots in the county.

This event used to be big for Stagecoach who are the local operator. Looks like the contract went to First Travel Solutions.

When the British Grand Prix was at Brands Hatch. There used to be the opportunity on Sunday morning, to be driven round in an Open Top Bus, on a lap of the circuit.

I have seen this happen in recent years at the Fuji World Endurance Race
