All aboard for the much anticipated On The Buses itinerary! Obviously we all know that the day is going to be packed full of classic On The Buses / Mutiny On The Buses locations, but I'm sure you'll all agree that it would be rude of me not to point out a few bonus locations on the day. I won't include them in this itinerary but rest assured, on the day I'll have a few extra screen grabs to point out a few extras. The itinerary will be a mix of a morning walkabout, followed by an easy drive around a few locations on the afternoon. Most stops are just minutes apart so very easy to get around. Now, the area will be completely new to most of you so it will be important to familiarise yourselves with the meet up point where the event will start from. THERE ARE PARKING FEES APPLICABLE RANGING FROM 90p FOR 1 HOUR / £1.70 FOR 2 HOURS / £2.20 FOR 3 HOURS / £3.20 FOR 4 HOURS / £4.20 FOR 5 HOURS / £5.20 FOR OVER 5 HOURS
I WILL BE HAVING A BREAKFAST IN THE HART & SPOOL (WETHERSPOONS) AT 8AM. IF YOU WISH TO JOIN I SUGGEST YOU PARK ON THE ABOVE MEET UP CAR PARK AND WALK (8 minutes) TO THE PUB. WE WILL LEAVE THE PUB BY 9AM TO RETURN TO THE MEET UP POINT. Part 1We will kick off with 2 bonus locations immediately on the way to the first official location. ( These to be revealed on the day.) - Olive leaves hospital after giving birth to little Arthur (On The Buses)
- Bus on the move 1 - (On The Buses)

- Out Of Control (Mutiny On The Buses)

FROM HERE, WE WILL RETURN TO THE CARS (5 minute walk). WE WILL THEN DRIVE TO OUR LUNCH BREAK - THE WHITE HART St Albans Rd, South Mimms, Potters Bar EN6 3PJ 13.30 – 3PM Part 2.BEFORE RETURNING TO CARS, WE WILL WALK ACROSS THE ROAD TO THE FIRST LOCATION.- Woman Bus Driver taken short (On The Buses)

WE WILL THEN RETURN TO CARS FOR AROUND 5.30pm.THAT COMPLETES THE MEET. THOSE OF US TRAVELLING HOME CAN DO SO FROM HERE, OR THOSE STAYING AT THE HOTEL CAN RETURN THERE. THOSE OF US STAYING AT THE HOTEL WILL BE HAVING A QUICK WASH AND BRUSH UP BEFORE GOING OUT ON FOOT FOR A FEW PINTS AND FOOD LOCALLY.I hope everyone likes the look of what I've planned. If anyone has any questions about any part of the above then please ask away. Regarding the driving locations on the afternoon, I advise everyone to carefully study these and if possible, store them on your sat nav device. Having driven on these roads many times myself, I have never had any issues at all. With the exception of Borehamwood town the roads are relatively quiet, far more so than what we have encountered in the past at London based Meets. Again, any questions you know where I am. Gene.

This looks brilliant Gene. In fact, it's just the ticket. Great locations from a much loved tv series, and it will be fantastic to see them for real. Very much looking forward to this event.
