The Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust is planning a route recreation on the Saturday and a rally at Bridgeton Bus garage on the Sunday. We're aiming for 30 buses but it will be open to other London types. But of course all this depends on support from you our members, bus owners and enthusiasts. The Glasgow Vintage Vehicle Trust has already identified a number of London vehicles based in Scotland, but to make the event viable we need expressions of interest from those further afield. We accept that for example Glasgow is 400 miles from London, and to this end we're working on overnight parking of which one will be in Chesterfield. Please email events@routemaster.org.uk and let us know what you think.

Steam & Stonham Barns Big Bus Day Sunday 9 August 2026
Imberbus 2026 Saturday 15 August 2026 There are only a few days each year on which the road through Imber is open to the public and we are only able to run Imberbus on one of those dates. Therefore in 2026 the Imberbus service will only run on Saturday 15th August 2026 when several London Transport Routemaster buses (plus a few newer ones) will be the only vehicles allowed to travel through to Imber village and on to other parts of Salisbury Plain. As in previous years, these buses will start from outside Warminster Rail Station and will operate as an ordinary bus service, so it is not possible to reserve seats or book tickets in advance - just turn up on the day and pay the conductor on the bus or purchase a ticket from one of our ticket desk outside the station. Local residents will also be able to to travel to Imber from Chitterne, Tilshead and the Lavingtons by paying the conductor in cash on the bus. Further information on what we have planned for our 2026 event will be published on this website during the summer, but the format is likely to be similar to last year, details of which can be found on our Imberbus 2025 web page.
