If I was running the events, personally I'd remove the advertisement of a free shuttle/bus service at all events. That way you're delivering what in practice actually happens, which is a load of static exhibits.

Absolutely, whilst one can criticise NEBPT for how these events are organised, if they are led up the garden path by attendees not wishing to participate on the day, removing the advertised free shuttle service is one contingency they can implement for future events with immediate effect. Personally, I'd be very much in favour of this approach. At least, that way, you won't have people stranded in remote locations for seemingly hours on end.
