Many thanks to everyone who came to the fifth Taunton Vintage Bus Running Day and Display on Sunday 14 May 2017 – the biggest event yet with mostly fine weather (apart from a brief shower at lunch time).
Over 30 buses and coaches, ranging from the 1930s to 1980s ran in service, and another 20 + were on display. (A list of buses operating can be seen here)
Our apologies to anyone unable to buy a programme – we have never sold out before!
Thanks in particular to Buses of Somerset, for use of Taunton Bus Station and their assistance in publicising and running the event.
