Welcome to the Bus & Coach Section of the Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza where we aim to provide a superb display of passenger service vehicles spanning the last seven decades.  Planning for the 2012 show is well underway and we're hoping to welcome new exhibits from as far as West Wales and Cornwall. 

We are proud to once again host the 2012 Bedford OB Get Together.  This is an annual event at which owners of these iconic little coaches meet up at a different venue around the country to show off their prized possessions.  Celebrating 73 years of service , these coaches could be seen up and down the country and nearly every coach operator had at least one.  How many of you can remember a ride to the seaside on one?  The Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza hosted the Get Together at Kemble  in 2008 where we had an amazing 16 Bedford OB's on display.  We're working hard to beat this record in 2012!

Most of the vintage vehicles on show at the Gloucestershire Steam & Vintage Extravaganza are on static display but in 2012 there will be the opportunity to ride on some of the buses and coaches at South Cerney.  Due to popular demand it is intended to operate a free shuttle bus service around the showground and it is planned that a selection of vintage buses and coaches will be operated on this service.  As in previous years we will be operating a free vintage service from Kemble Railway Station to South Cerney which is timed to connect with trains to and from Swindon, Stroud and Gloucester.   We will also be operating a free vintage bus service to and from Cirencester Market Place.  Timetables for these services will be published on the website in June 2012.
