Ten vintage buses brought nostalgic travel to the roads in and around Tiverton on
Sunday, September 1 st as the Devon General Society recreated local bus routes of
the 1960s.
Free bus services ran from the bus station around the town, and out to Bampton,
Thorverton and Tiverton Parkway, whilst an open-top bus provided a local tour.
Altogether, 1,855 passenger trips were made during the day.
Paul Jenkins, Secretary of the Devon General Society, said “We were delighted with
the turnout for our event, with many buses departing with full loads. We would like to
thank everyone who travelled on our buses, the bus owners, and our great team of
volunteers who made it all happen. We also appreciate the support we received from
Tiverton Town Council, Mid Devon District Council, and Stagecoach South West. We
hope everyone had an enjoyable day experiencing bus travel as it used to be.”
