The event brings back all 60 bus sculptures with another trail created specifically for this event. It was a great opportunity to see all bus sculptures for people who may have missed the bus trails the first time round and for others, a chance to relive all the bus designs that they may have encountered on their previous runs. There was an additional plant-based and drawn bus which was added to the trail which were not part of the previous series of trails.
Only on the Sunday, the 1914 restored “Battle Bus" was on show for people to hop on and admire the works which were developed by the London General Omnibus Company (LGOC). The restoration was supported by the Heritage Lottery Fun, London Transport Museum Friends and donations from the public. The New Routemaster bus was there as well, which was a new bus that were first introduced in 2010 and started to circulate in 2012 on the streets of London. The London Transport Museum exhibibtion bus gave information and background behind buses as well as an accompanying video.
A heated marquee was set up where families could come and enjoy art workshops which included colouring-in activities and caricature drawings. There was the Icon Bus designed by The Routemasters live and the final bus in the series.
