Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum Running Day

Vintage bus buffs will already have this event scratched into their diaries.

Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum Running Day

Coming up next month is the October Running Day. If you head for the Museum down on the Newport Quay you’ll have a treat in store for you, as the museum opens it’s doors and welcomes buses from around the UK.

Enjoy the wonderful sight of vintage buses and even get a chance to ride on one.

The admission charge (yet to be confirmed) will ensure entry to the museum as well as a ride around the Island on one of the participating buses.

The permanent collection ranges from a 1889 tram car and a 1927 Daimler, as well as more recent examples.

Normal entry charges will apply, i.e. £4.00 for adults, £3.50 for senior citizens and £2.50 for children but free admission will be given to any one purchasing a programme, priced at £4.50.

These will be available on the day from the museum.
