The free services and tours featuring more than 30 classic buses will give visitors the opportunity to step back in time and enjoy a taste of vintage Glasgow.

The event will be hosted at the Bridgeton Bus Garage with the Trust’s collection of 130 classic buses, lorries, and fire engines as well as guest vehicles from across the UK.

The corner of the garage will be transformed into a trading village with stalls selling models, pictures, books, and transport souvenirs.
