The West Riding Bus Group was founded in 2011 by three members of Dewsbury Bus Museum, to simplify the legal processes of organising the first ever Running Day event in the West Riding Area. This event took place on a very windy day in May, based on Heath Common, near Wakefield. Preserved buses carried crowds of passengers on former West Riding routes, serving Wakefield, Ossett, Dewsbury, Normanton, Castleford and Pontefract. Metro and Arriva kindly granted access to bus stations in these towns, and Arriva also provided a bus to use as a Control Centre on Heath Common.

The next Running Day and Transport Rally will take place on SUNDAY 27th MAY 2012. Full details are on another page; click HERE to see it.
