14 July
- Tavistock for a day out in the late 1960s |
 |
Visitors
relished the time warp that transformed Tavistock
bus station on 14 July into a scene from the late
1960s. Buses and coaches from the era and of the
types that operated there, gave rides on original
routes through mid-Devon and over Dartmoor.
Tavistock’s Mayor kindly launched the VR - the bus
of the future - featured in the souvenir programme.
