Now in
its fourth year, the 2010 rally will once again be held at
Weymouth College, on the eastern side of the town, right next to
Lodmoor Coach Park. The site allows full hard standing for the
static display together with an adjacent bus departure area.
The
all-important date is Sunday, 20 June 2010 and the event will
follow the successful format of previous events with
(hopefully!) a wide variety of buses and coaches on display and
in service.
Bus
services will once again run to Portland Bill where fantastic
views are available of Chesil Beach en-route as the bus
climbs up through Portland and to Bowleaze Cove giving the
chance to ride along the full length of the seafront - maybe
even in an open-top bus!
As
usual, most of the buses running in service will travel along
the Esplanade allowing photographers some fine photo
opportunities in and around the seafront area.
Following the success last year of the new 454 route serving the
railway station, this service will run again in 2010 giving easy
access to and from the rally site for those visitors coming by
train or leaving the car in the large Swannery car parks
nearby. In due course, please keep an eye on the 'Bus Services'
page of this website for departure times, as these will again be
designed to connect with the trains.
If
you've attended before, we hope you had a great time and we'd
love to see you again. If not, then why not make 2010 the year
to come and see us? You could even make a weekend
of it and bring the family, there's plenty to see and do in and
around Weymouth.
As
usual, we shall have an informal run to Portland Bill on the
Saturday evening for those who may want to arrive in Weymouth a
day early to enjoy the beautiful seaside town, the jewel of the
Dorset Jurrasic Coast.
We
look forward to welcoming friends old and new for our fourth
Weymouth Vintage Bus Running Day.

P.S.
If you can't make it to Weymouth, how about our other event in
Torquay in September?
