    I’ve been to the GVVT a few times and I am never disappointed. I was shown around the collection by the amazing Ed Bonner. Who’s knowledge of the collection is vast and never ending!

  • 5/5 Robert Clelland (. 1 year ago on Google
    It opened at 11 O'clock. We were there for 10.30 am and went on the old double decker free bus to George's Square and back. There was a long queue when we got back. So had to go to the end of the queue to pay in. Prices were cheap enough. Plenty to see and to enjoy your day old memories came back, lots to say and talk about. Star wars people were there too. Every vehicle from old to new, busses cars bikes scooters, police cars fire engines and an orchestra playing old music. Balloon and makeup people for the kids too. And a cafe for hot and clod drinks. Toilet facilities too. All in all 3½ hrs spent there lovely day out. Enjoy ourselves. Thank you Bridgeston bus station.

    For someone who isn't into buses as much as my other half is, the day was still enjoyable

    Really interesting collection. Some cool vintage buses. Tour guide Mark was knowledgeable, friendly and fun. Very relaxed vibe. The sensory bus is an amazing project with separate expert guide. I didn't have time for the gift shop. I think there might be a cafe too. Went during Doors Open Days but they also open up once a month and have a big community day in October, I believe.

    What an A-MAZING place for ALL ages! It's becoming more and more popular so I wouldn't wait until you're the last to see these old buses, transport and events. SO much to see and so many special visitor celebrities like Darth Vadar and co :) Just GO and see for your self ....

    Great place to go see some old buses and some cool cars. You can also catch the shuttle bus from the town centre and experience a ride in an old bus. Only cost £5 which is used to keep the old buses running.

    Excellent place to visit, vast array of vintage and modern buses, trucks and fire engines. Free bus rides on the Open Sundays. Great family day out

  • 5/5 Brian K. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic day out will take about 3h all in with the bus ride in and around Glasgow. the selection of buses getting bigger each year, highlights for us was seeing a delorian in the workshop, searching the bus windows looking for lego figures. The bus ride was brilliant if your a family of 3 get on early and go up the stairs and sit at the very back there a 3 seater perfect.
