 TV&GWOT
is a registered charity which was established in 2008 “to
advance the education of the
public in the history of public
road passenger transport and in particular in the history of those
companies and types of vehicles operated through the Thames Valley and
Great Western road transport corridors.”
This is done by organising vintage bus and coach running days and long
distance runs, and by preserving and restoring
historic buses and
coaches. Two vehicles from the Colin Billington Collection have been
put on long term loan to the Trust (the 1927 GWR Guy and the 1927
National Omnibus & Transport Co Leyland PLSC3 Lion) and the Trust is
expecting to take an increasing role in exploiting the Collection both
in Berkshire and the West Country for public benefit. Group visits may
be accommodated by prior arrangement.
The restoration
of the GWR Guy was completed in April 2011 just in time for its display
at the Penzance Running Day and it is intended that this vehicle will
visit a significant number of public events and preserved railways in
2012.
