Nine vehicles for sale as Aberdeen trust downsizes

Published: 01/07/2025

The Aberdeen & District Transport Preservation Trust is selling nine vehicles plus other components.  The Federation (FBHVC) member runs the widely-regarded Bus Collection at Alford.

A list of vehicles and parts for sale is now on the Trust’s website  http://thebuscollectionatalford.co.uk/items-for-sale/

Also for disposal are a number of different tramcar saloon doors. All were sliding doors and are of wood, plus glazing. Their history is that they were recovered from a variety of Aberdeen tramcars by the Corporation Transport Department and were re-used as panels to create a bothy in their workshops at King Street.

The Trust's premises are alongside the Grampian Transport Museum in Alford, Aberdeenshire, where the buses in the Trust’s care are housed, rebuilt and maintained.

Through Grampian Transport Museum, the Trust’s Collection Centre at Alford is open to the public on a limited basis, but arrangements can also be made for private viewing.

The Trust also works closely with the First Group Heritage Trust, housing some of their collection of historic Aberdeen Corporation/Grampian Transport buses.

As much as possible, vehicles in the Trust’s care are returned to running condition and are presented to the public at a variety of exhibitions in Aberdeen City and Shire as well as further afield.
