ABOUT

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.
