The Bridgeton Bus Garage #

The Bridgeton Bus Garage is a large depot, housing over 150 vintage vehicles. Most of these vehicles are privately owned and they are stored and maintained there for a modest monthly fee.

Some of the vintage buses that are utilised for tranporting passengers from the city to the bus garage may have up to date MOT’s, although because of their vintage status (over 40 years old), MOTs are not a requirement. However These buses are maintained to a very high standard and you can be assured as a passenger that you will be transported safely in one of these magnificent buses with a fully qualified PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) licenced driver.
