EVENTS

The Trust organises regular vintage bus running days, where you are able to enjoy free rides and sample a wide range of vehicles in their former habitats.

At our running days, you observe first-hand how the vehicles performed in service and build your own sense of how bus and coach travel has developed through the generations.

Our events have gained a nationwide reputation for authenticity and adventure, recreating the full experience of road transport in bygone days. They have become established, popular attractions for local communities and enthusiasts alike.

Why not come along and join us for a free bus ride?

Our principal events for 2020 are:

	Penzance VR Revival & Vintage Bus Running Day - Sunday 19 April A collaboration between the Cornwall Bus Preservation Society and TV&GWOT gives free rides around the spectacular scenery of the West Cornwall Peninsula. Find out more... Photo © Colin Billington. Cancelled - back in 2021
