Guided Tours

We’re delighted to invite you to join us for a guided tour of Bridgeton Bus Garage, home of the GVVT. See our collection of over 130 buses, fire engines and commercial vehicles, from fully restored vehicles to those under various stages of restoration.

On selected dates we’ll be opening Bridgeton Garage for pre-booked guided tours taking around one hour. We now offer a Family tour which is more suitable for younger visitors with less in depth information from our tour guides and more hands-on features and photo opportunities on the tour. If you have children in your party we recommend the Family Tour and if your party is adults only we recommend the regular tour.

  • Sat 25 May
  • Sun 16 June
  • Sat 20 July

Tours usually commence at 1200 for our regular tour and 1400 for the Family Tour, please check when booking. To book your tour please click this link. Booking is available for the next 3 dates.

Entrance to the Garage is through the pedestrian access gate on Fordneuk Street, near London Road. There is no parking in the Garage, however, unlimited free on-street parked is available on Fordenuk Street and on surrounding streets.

Please arrive at the depot gate around 5/10 minutes before the tour start time. Our volunteer Guides will escort you around our home. Souvenirs are available at the end of the tour.
