It was northern thing in the postwar years and upto the 1970s for social clubs to organise bus trips out for members and pensioners, which usually ended up at the coast. It was free and lunch and free beer for adults was provided. Quite often they would be advertised as mystery trips and last just one day... coming from the north east it was common during Easter and summer holidays. This may be the premise for the film.

That was great. I think I watched the Victor Spinetti doc some years ago. That and your video are more entertaining than the original movie! (Apart from the music that is). You must have done a lot of research to get the exact locations. I remember as a 10 year old watching the original movie on Boxing Day 1967. All the grown ups were scornful. "What a load of rubbish!" etc etc. I watched it again when the BBC ran it about 10 years ago and I must say I was nonplussed, even as an ardent fan. It was the first Beatles flop. An example maybe of McCartney hubris, thinking they could wing it without any set plan or script? But the music was fab, of course.

I did a Car Tax check on the .GOV website and it states that the last date of the logbook (V5) is 23 March 1989 and the last time it was taxed was 1 December 1989. I found this online: The Hard Rock Cafe acquired the actual Magical Mystery Tour bus in 1988 and it is the single biggest piece of rock n’ roll memorabilia they own. It took four months, 2,000 man-hours and a cost of $100,000 for Hard Rock to completely refurbish the bus using vintage parts to replicate the original designs and details. The bus is stored in the Hard Rock Cafe warehouse and is put on display for special occasions. The Hard Rock Cafe offered the bus years ago as a prize in an Internet sweepstakes but apparently the winner chose the cash alternative so the bus remains with Hard Rock Cafe as Beatles memorabilia.
