Two buses from our collection took part in the Taunton Vintage Bus Day on Sunday 31st May 2026 – our 1959 Leyland Atlantean 872 ATA and our 1965 AEC Regent V CTT 513C. It was 872 ATA’s public debut under our ownership.

872 ATA ran on service 201 to Monkton Heathfield, service 203 to Wellington and service 277 to Bradford-on-Tone. CTT 513C also ran on services 201 and 277, plus service 218 to Bishops Lydeard. Our buses were kept busy, with 979 passenger journeys made – all free of charge.
