Buses is a magazine published in the United Kingdom that primarily focuses on the British public bus industry. It was originally published by Ian Allan Publishing; since March 2012 it has been published by Key Publishing. The current editor is James Day. The magazine is accompanied by a yearbook published in August every year for the next year. It is published on the third Thursday of each month.
Since 2014, the publisher operates annual show every August called "Buses Festival" at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire. Buses Festival is one of the largest shows for bus enthusiasts to see modern and classic vehicles on display and for traders to sell bus models, literature, photos and bus accessories.[2]
History[edit]
Buses was published as Buses Illustrated from 1949 until 1968. A sister magazine, Buses Focus, featured more in-depth articles, but was dropped after a rationalisation of the bus industry and for publishing cost reasons.
