The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum is holding an informal get-together for all serving and ex-serving personnel from Southern Vectis, as well as those who have worked or are still working for any Island bus and coach operator.
This includes anyone who worked for those long ago but not forgotten operators of the past such as Moss Motors, Pauls Tours, Wiltax and Seaview Services.
All are welcome for a chat, light buffet and a chance to inspect the artefacts and vehicles of the museum on Sunday 6th October between 14:00-16:00.
The reunion was regularly held at the end of each season pre-pandemic but proved impossible during Covid, and last year, the museum was severely impacted by the flooding in Ryde which meant it could not be reopened for the remainder of the season.
Anyone wishing to attend should email [email protected].
