on the Sunday. There will be a free ‘classic bus’ service between the two
sites, and free buses between the town centre and designated parking
area on both days. There will also be a charity ‘Truck Pull’ in Hough Lane on the Sunday.

The British Commercial Vehicle Museum is planning a bumper programme of special events and attractions for its 2009 season.

The Museum is already well-established amongst the vehicle enthusiast community as a centre of excellence for the permanent display of vans, trucks and buses of exceptional historical importance. But these special events provide first rate opportunities for people – enthusiasts and the general public alike – to come to Leyland and see for themselves what is on offer.

Facilities are currently available for motor clubs to host rallies and events of a similar nature. Parking is available at the museum. There is  also an extensive exhibition area which is suitable for most outside events
