West End Bus Fest
2026-06-28 11:00 - 17:00
EVENT CANCELLED
It is with regret that due to ongoing construction work at Glasgow Harbour, adjacent to the Riverside Museum, and the associated traffic & pedestrian management measures that are in place, GVVT has no option but to cancel this year’s event. The situation has been monitored closely as it develops. Alternative locations were considered at which to base the service, but unfortunately no other option could be found that offers the combination of static vehicle display, layover parking of buses between journeys, and safe management of buses and large volumes of passengers. We apologise for any inconvenience or disappointment caused, but hope you can join us at our ‘London Comes to Glasgow’ Super Sunday on Sunday 5th July at Bridgeton Bus Garage
