Penzance Vintage Bus Day

Choose your bus and beach or inland destination, then take a free ride from Penzance, return and repeat. Ever popular with locals and holiday makers alike, Penzance and surrounding areas from Helston to St Ives, Land’s End or Newlyn will be yours to explore by vintage bus – quite possibly one of the Bristol VR marque that served Cornwall for nearly four decades or a more diminutive vehicle specifically designed to negotiate the tight bends into Mousehole. Prepare for a breathtaking day out.   

Souvenir Programmes including Timetables

Our souvenir programmes contain all the information you need to enjoy your day. There are details of the places, times and vintage buses so you can plan ahead. Feature articles illustrate the heritage that the day will re-create.  The cover is based on the 40-year old 1984/5 Western National timetable designs for the area.

Programmes can be purchased online (£8 inc p&p) FOR IMMEDIATE DESPATCH or for £6 from Sullivan's Diner opposite Penzance bus station NOW.  They will also be available on the day.
