- Spent the 19th & 20th August 2023 at the Scottish Vintage Bus Museum in Lathalmond for their 28th Annual Open Weekend, and what a cracker it was too. I enjoyed it even more when I realised it had been 4 years since my last visit. How fast time passes.
A wonderful variety of buses on show and operating the internal service with a regular service between SVBM and Dunfermline bus station. There was also the Forth Bridges Tour and Mystery Tour on both days. The Shed 47 Railway Restoration Group were offering Brake Van rides, and on the narrow gauge line, Big Dave was in action. With so much to do and see, its difficult to cram it all into the weekend.
Many Thanks to all the Vehicle owners and the SVBM Volunteers for all the hard work in producing a thoroughly enjoyable weekend.
Thanks a million for sending this great video, once again I have thurly enjoyed it, even to see the Forth rail bridge was really great, again many thanks for the video (always enjoyable).
Thanks John. Its great to hear that you enjoyed the video.
Good to see a new one from you 😊
Thanks Andrei. A few things prevented me getting to a number of events lately. So I was really glad to get to the SVBM Open Weekend. Good to hear from you again.
OMFG !!!! i saw 5 buses belonging to Eastern Scottish ...that i got as school buses when i was a kid and i am now 53 ..i need to go to that museum to re-live some fabulous memories ....also my uncle jim was a bus driver for the old SMT and Eastern Scottish ....and the very bus he drove to London is there too ...OMG man thanks for posting this video ...holy moly i cannot believe my old school buses are still going ..
I am over the moon that this video gave you a trip down memory lane. They made things to last in those days. I hope you manage to get to the museum, I'm pretty sure you would enjoy it.
Cool exhibition! Not even one, but 2 in 1 (buses and locomotives). Thanks for the video!
Cheers, Glad you enjoyed the video.
My First time to your videos and this one was so special for many reasons. I lived in Dunfermline as a lad for around 6 years and it was a nostalgic reminder of great days in that city. Plus, seeing the range of Alexander bodied buses and coaches I recall so well, from my days living in other parts of Scotland, especially in Stirling, where several members of my older relatives lived, most of whom held Senior roles at Alexanders Bus Builders, in post WW2 years.
This was a great trip down Memory Lane and thank you so much. Maybe I'll travel North next year for the 2024 event.
Thank You very much. I'm so glad you enjoyed and it brought back some nice memories. Its nice to take a trip down memory lane now and again. I hope you manage to make the trip to the next Open Weekend. I'm sure you would enjoy it.
I hope you had a great day. I couldn't make the event this year. It would have been nice to see Big Dave and the Sentinel waggon in steam.
I certainly did enjoy it. Sorry you couldnt make it this year. I think I enjoyed it even more having missed a few. Hopefully that will be the same for you when you get there next year.
Well done Tommy, another top quality video of a very impressive event. I would love to visit there, and maybe pandemics and rail strikes permitting, I will do one of these days. Seeing the Forth Bridge(s) is always cool, but you didn't say where the Mystery Tour went to, or is it a state secret? 😉
Thanks Alan, Glad you liked the video. It certainly was a great event and well worth a visit. The bridges are so impressive, Everytime I see them I'm amazed at the sheer size. I didnt say where the mystery tour went not because of any state secret :-) simply as I was too busy enjoying the trip and talking to a couple of guys I wasnt paying too much attention and before I knew it we were back at the Museum. How embarrassing is that.
