Vintage Bus Rally at Tenterden Town Station!

Tenterden Town Station will come alive with a rally featuring over a dozen vintage buses, some offering free rides to local destinations! Enjoy services connecting with trains from Headcorn and Ashford railway stations, and explore a variety of stalls selling vintage memorabilia.

The station is also home to the original Maidstone & District Omnibus Station building from Mill Street, Maidstone. Opened by The Maidstone & District Motor Services Limited on 15th August 1922, it is widely recognised as the first purpose-built bus station in the UK. After remaining in use until 1976, the building was dismantled and donated to the Kent & East Sussex Railway, where it stands today.

Do you own a vintage bus or run a business selling vintage products? Join the rally and be part of this celebration of transport history!

📧 To participate, contact the event organiser: noelmyoung@yahoo.co.uk

This event promises a unique blend of vintage transport, railway heritage, and local charm — perfect for families, enthusiasts, and curious minds alike.

Admission included with standard station entry.
