Penzance Vintage Bus Running Day 2019

Apr 21 , 2019 - Sun - 10:00 am

Cornwall Bus Preservation Society's Annual Penzance Running Day in association with Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust .

The Cornwall Bus Preservation Society in association with the Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust invites you to come to sunny, warm West Cornwall for our event on Sunday 21 April 2019. This will be our 12th vintage bus running day in Penzance following the original Final VR Running Day on 9 December 2006.

The Running Day will be based at Penzance Bus Station (adjacent to the main railway station) with vintage bus services running from 10.00 until 17.00. Routes around West Cornwall will include Penzance to Camborne, St Ives, St Just, Hayle, Marazion/Perranuthnoe, Praa Sands, Paul/Sheffield and out to Sennen Cove and Land’s End with small vehicles going into Mousehole, a highlight for many.

There will be feeder bus services to and from Camborne, St Ives and Goldsithney – timing tbc.


 

Mousehole in the 1950s – Bedford OB bus No. 517 swings wide to turn into the narrow streets leading out from the harbour

St. Ives – probably the most spectacular bus station site in the UK – three different routes to and fro’ Penzance

As always, the day will revive memories of VR operations in West Cornwall – some of these plus others, new to the event, will be in service.
