Kingsbridge Vintage Bus Running Day 2019

This delightful event organised by the Thames Valley & Great Western Omnibus Trust, often known as the ‘Kingsbridge 7 ft 6 ins Vintage Bus Running Day’ is now in its twelfth year. In previous years the event just featured buses and coaches built to that width due to the narrow lanes, but more recently larger vehicles have joined the ranks of superbly turned out buses and coaches that operate in and around the area of the pretty town of Kingsbridge in Devon on one Saturday in September. This is the second time the Independent Transport Videos cameras have attended the event to record the operation of over 40 preserved buses and coaches. It starts bright and early in the centre of Kingsbridge where we record the arrivals and departures of the buses and coaches at the small bus station. There are a wide variety of vehicle types and bus companies represented. There is plenty of filming in and around the bus station as well as some dramatic footage as the buses ascend and descend the hill on Ilbert Road.
