Friends of King Alfred Buses

Our next main event will be part of Winchester Heritage Open Days on Saturday and Sunday 11th and 12th September 2021. On the Saturday, we plan a vehicle display at the Winchester cattle market car park between 12:00 and 17:00, with a free bus service to and from Winchester Broadway.  For the Sunday, there will be a Running Day of free vintage bus services on the traditional King Alfred routes based on Winchester Broadway and using all available vehicles from the Friends of King Alfred Buses collection.  Services will operate broadly between 10:00 and 16:00.  Two notable milestones in 2021 are the 100th anniversary of the bus service between Winchester and Owslebury and the 90th of our Dennis OU 9286.  We are hopeful of featuring the original Ford Model T bus from the Owslebury service on the Satdurday!  A full colour programme/timetable will be available for the weekend of 11/12 September nearer the time, but you can order your copy now!
