Reviews of Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust

M. W.

Great museum with friendly staff. They offer open door weekends and two events each year, one in June as part of the West End Festival, and one in October as a larger weekend event, where you can ride the buses. Bus rides are free, entry to their museum, the former Glasgow Corporation depot in Bridgeton, is for a price, usually about eight pounds. The photos are taken across two years, 2021 and 2022, at their running weekend in October. Always frequented by young and old, families, and enthusiasts alike. A great day out for literally anyone. Very child friendly with plenty of things for them to see and a wee cafe on site for drinks and snacks.

Awesome place

Wife range of buses, coaches, fire engines; more than you could imagine are squeezed into quite a large shed, previously a bus depot. Outside other restored vehicles and a mobile cafe. Most popular were the stands full of model buses, trams and trains, photos and memorabilia. Coach trips round Glasgow too. Very few vehicles were open to view inside but there's evidence of much hard restorative work by many people and private owners.

Brilliant place

Good to see all the old buses. Plenty of good stalls. Not overpriced

M. J.

A thoroughly impressive, expertly cared for and passionately loved collection brought to life by members. We just attended a guided tour today and it was evident that this place runs on diesel and dedication. Thank you so much for an enlightening and engaging tour that impressed both myself and my son. Highly recommended for anyone.

Fabulous, what a great way to spend an afternoon. Guided tour of all the old buses for £5, well worth the money. Tour guides are very knowledgeable and happy to answer any questions. Events during the year with activities for children and bus rides from city centre which is for donation only. Definitely worth a visit to take you back in time. The area is wheelchair accessible and staff have a mobility scooter if someone feels unable to walk round. It is alll on a flat level and easily accessible from road. 5 minutes walk from Bridgeton train station

L. H.

We loved it here, loved the bus trip into Glasgow and back can't wait till we come back see you at the next open day

s. c.

Vintage bus museum public open day 1st sunday of every summer month.

Great place to be reminiscent

Great day out for kids and adults. Loads of old buses and other vehicles plus plenty of models to buy as well.

d. n.

Went to the family open day and it was great. The smell of diesel greets you as you come in the door. Today they had a fantastic brass band playing and plenty of stalls to keep the kids entertained. Loads of buses and lorries for the old kids to look at and remember what it was like...lol. There were also 2 brand new electric buses, a police car and a fire engine.

P. M.

Great place to visit and check out all the old buses! My Son absolutely loves it, glad we where able to come along on Sunday. The ride around town on the old bus is great fun!😎🚌

Great place to visit with family. A lot of old buses and other vehicles. On site you can buy some of memorabilia and take ride on old bus to George Square. Recommend it to everyone 👌

J. S.

Very good old buses and some trucks

Absolutely fantastic day out. We have been a few times as I have a little 4yr old bus enthusiast and it's his favourite place. The staff are fantastic to say the least. Helpful, knowledgable and friendly. There are lots of different busses and staff on hand to give you information. On family open days they have great selection of private bus diorama . Diecast vehicles for sale as well as old timetables and much more. We love this place and can't wait to go back.

J. W.

Great place to visit lots to see and brings back lots of memories

C. H.

A wonderful collection of preserved buses which were operated by several now-defunct companies in the Glasgow area. Most are still 'operational'. Strongly recommended for a visit when it reopens to the public, once the current Corona Virus crisis is resolved. 1.5 hours should see most items of interest.

R. C. (.

Former bus garage with a large collection of buses from across Scotland. Worth visiting on open days for bus rides.

J. D.

Our most recent visit to the GVVT transport museum found some new exhibits and a different option in the cafe, hot filled rolls to compliment the hot drinks and cake. Looking forward to further events on the GVVT website.

S. S.

Visited a family fun day at Bridgeton Bus station by GVVT. Great day for all. There were more vehicles than I expected and a great range from buses, fire engines to police cars. Kids had fun and was a great walk down memory lane for the adults. Well organised and a great day out.

D. G.

A traditional bus depot--and as meant to be, store most of the GVVT fleet indoors. Great selection of vehicles but my personal favorite is AH101, travelled on her lots(the first driver I spoke to on my first journey said she was starting her 2nd day of service. She was so pristine, wish she was back in Strathclyde livery, but just my own view.

D. M.

Great day out and friendly folk.

M. B.

Great place with great people. Lots of beautifully restored buses and coaches. It's open to the public on the last Sunday of the month and well worth a visit.

S. F.

Best place ever Gordon that basically runs the place is the nicest guy you could meet and all the other guys are really passionate about the vehicles and what they do and on the open days they can and will answer any questions you may have and their knowledge is second to none, I would recommend and encourage anyone to visit because you won't be disappointed

Area - system in place for Covid , tickets need to bought for event They have tons of buses , cars , emergency vehicles the kids even love it

I enjoyed my time there and the work is intriguing to watch while it's rejuvenating old buses/vehicles. I forgot how high off the ground the old seats were on buses and the limited leg room.

Great place to visit to see restored examples of old local buses and other public service vehicles. The staff are very friendly and informative and you can get snacks and drinks there too. A nice way to wallow in nostalgia and perhaps show youngsters what bus travel used to be like.
