The aim of The Edinburgh Transport Group is to promote interest in public transport and other vehicles in the Edinburgh and Lothians area of Scotland. The group’s main interest is in buses and coaches of any age, however we also have many members who study railways or commercial vehicles.

The Group holds informal meetings every month in central Edinburgh, where all members and visitors are welcome. These meetings are held in the evenings on the first Thursday of every month. During the summer months, we usually take a trip on board one of the many vintage and modern buses hired from local operators or owned by various Group members and associates. In the dark evenings of the winter months, we hold indoor events consisting of talks or slideshows hosted by members or invited guest speakers. For more details of our activities, please browse the website and see our ‘Contact Us / Join Us’ page.
