Only 4 days to go until our rescheduled West End Bus Fest on Saturday 15th August. FREE bus rides around the West End and bus display outside Riverside Museum. Hope you can join us for a trip back in time! gvvt.org/events for timetable/map.
Here's the timetable for the West end Bus Fest. Unfortunately, we aren't able to operate a shuttle bus to the City Centre on this event due to limited space at Riverside Museum. We recommend catching the Subway to Kelvin Hall and then catching one our free buses on Byres Road near Partick Cross.
You may remember we had to cancel our original event due to over-running roadworks outside Riverside. We are running a rescheduled West End Bus Fest with free bus rides around the West End, and a vintage vehicle display on Saturday 15th August. gvvt.org/west-end-bus-fest/
