Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust details...

One of the best places to take your budding transport enthusiast in Glasgow is The Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust. Formed in 2002 the GVVT is based in the former Bridgeton Bus Garage at 76-136 Fordneuk Street. The garage is now well established as a heritage centre for buses and commercial vehicles. The collection contains over 100 buses, coaches, commercial vehicles and fire appliances – not just from Glasgow but all over Britain and even beyond. Vehicles are usually owned by individuals or small groups and range from projects newly rescued from scrap yards and awaiting restoration to lovingly restored roadgoing examples. Vehicles from the collection often participate in events within the city and further, which often gives the public the opportunity to travel on the them.

The collection is not open to the public on a daily basis, but does hold open days and events throughout the year, when visitors will have access to wander round and see what goes on, with examples of vehicle restoration work at all stages. This includes the large display of restored vehicles, with Information about each vehicle is displayed on them. GVVT volunteers are also on hand to help visitors with queries and answer questions. On these days, visitors can usually travel 1960’s style, on one of the GVVT’s Glasgow Corporation buses on a free hourly service between the garage and George Square in the city centre. Visits by small groups with specific interests are welcome by prior arrangement.

Family tickets, offering substantial savings, are normally available for all GVVT open days.
