Thanks for joining us!

Our 2024 Open Weekend was another success story for the GVVT.

A huge thank you to everyone who came along to our Annual Open Weekend.

We had over 2800 visitors over the weekend, including many first time visitors.

We had visiting buses from all over the UK and Ireland many of which helped operate our free bus services and tours alongside vehicles from the GVVT collection. We had over 70 bus departures from Bridgeton each day (71 Sat and 77 Sun using 22 and 24 different vehicles respectively). A big thank you to the vehicle owners who made their buses available to ride on and also to the local bus companies who displayed their latest vehicles over the weekend.

Our visitors enjoyed free trips on a huge variety of buses ranging from the 1928 Leyland Titan to the 2006 Volvo B7RLE, there was something for everyone!

We could not run our event without our own team of volunteers who give up their own time to assist with GVVT events. We had 67 volunteers on Saturday and 77 on Sunday, with many working both days (plus pre-event preparation)! Duties include bus driving and conducting, entrance desk, shop, archive museum, bin emptying and cleaning! If you like to join the GVVT and help with our events you can do this here. Our patron, Ken Bruce volunteered on both days too!

Finally, a thank you from our patron, Ken Bruce
