Take A Trip To Greenway On A Vintage Leyland
Vintage Bus – Taking you back in time to Greenway
Greenway Ferry & Pleasure Cruises are pleased to announce the arrival of a 1947 Vintage Leyland PS1/1 Barnaby C33F bus to The English Riviera running a regular service to Greenway on the ‘Agatha Christie Tour’. This fabulous piece of recently restored British history joins the Greenway Ferry Company adding to the rapidly growing historical fleet and complimenting perfectly the existing services to Greenway that are already provided by taking passengers from Torquay, Brixham Dartmouth, Dittisham and Totnes to Greenway House and Gardens. Helen Meacock Operations Manager said ‘This special little bus provides a nostalgic and authentic jiggle, jerk and creaky ride along part of the Agatha Christie Mile before arriving at the wonderful home of Agatha Christie now giving a new option other than ferry adding to the era of real travel’.
The vintage bus coupled with Heritage Ship Fairmile creates a fantastic heritage link, promoting green transport which is both the National Trust and our companies’ common goal in a fun and historical way.
In addition to the new service from Torquay and Brixham Park and Ride to Greenway, our company for the first time will add a unique Heritage link between the National Trust Properties of Greenway and Coleton Fishacre which will be available to visitors.
The new service will commence on Saturday 26th June with a complimentary tour day to welcome the bus to the English Riviera – tickets are available free of charge by calling 01803 882811. This will be followed by standard operations Wednesday through to Sunday departing at 10.00am & 2pm from Belgrave Road Torquay and 10.10am & 2.10pm from Cary Parade Torquay. Tickets will be available onboard or from Princess Pier Torquay or the Torquay Tourist Information Centre at Vaughn Parade.
Services from Brixham Park and Ride will operate on the same days at 11.15am, 11.45am, 3.15pm, 3.45pm and cross property services between Coleton Fishacre and Greenway Wed, Sat and Sun at 12.50pm and 4.20pm giving visitors the opportunity to see two properties in one day the Greenway.
