December 9th  SHOWBUS is on the move! TTCDIECAST.com's SHOWBUS for 2013 - already announced for September 22nd - will be held at Long Marston Airfield, just south of Stratford-upon-Avon. SHOWBUS plans to return to Duxford in 2014 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Routemaster. The new venue offers us the opportunity to offer some features not possible at Duxford. For visitors free rides around the site on selected entrants will be a new attraction. Coach and bus operators will be able to combine a visit to Showbus with excursions to nearby Stratford and Warwick Castle. The site is also home to a variety of well known motoring shows and displays including the national Hot Rod drag racing championship so photographers will have a field day as all entrants will circumnavigate the site before arriving on the drag strip which has grandstand views. There will be regular free shuttles to Stratford, links to the nearby First Great Western station, local tours and Cotswold excursions. For entrants from further afield there will be the opportunity to camp on site. We hope that many potential entrants, who have found the journey to Duxford a bit too far, will be able to join us for the first time and we will all enjoy a different selection of vehicles at this new central location. There will be less restriction on what stalls can sell, giving a new boost to the biggest bus market at the season's end. Planning is still in the early stages and we hope to reveal more as we get nearer to the event. There will be a mini-Showbus the weekend before at the major drag racing event as a curtain raiser to Showbus itself. The new site allows dogs, meaning bus owning dog lovers can join us for the first time and we expect the maximum admission to be no more than £12.
