BVBG - Open day 2006

Open day 2006

Vehicle rally and running day

Our open day 2006 took place on Sunday 13th August, and was run in conjunction with the Avon Valley Railway, to give a real taste of transport nostalgia.

A static display of buses took place at Brislington Park and Ride site (just off the A4 between Bristol and Bath).

From the park and ride site, vintage buses provided free bus services to the Group's premises and to the Avon Valley Railway.

Free vintage bus rides also ran from the Group's base to other places of interest in Bristol at frequent intervals through the day, and from the Avon Valley Railway to the former Bristol Omnibus Company's Hanham and Staple Hill depots.

A good selection of vehicles joined us, and public attendance seemed to be at least as good as last year for this memorable day. A selection of photos from the event are shown.

If you came and enjoyed the event, please come again next year - the date will be Sunday 12th August 2007.

If you came, and would like to leave us feedback to let us know what you thought and to help us plan for next year, we'd like to hear from you. Click here to submit feedback.
