Welcome to the web site of the Omnibus Society. This Title Page provides links to the various pages on our site. If you are interested in details of buses, and their individual histories, you may wish to visit the web site of the PSV Circle. Many members of the Society are also members of the PSV Circle, with whom we have collaborated closely for many years. Buses overseas are catered for by Buses Worldwide, whose web site you may wish to visit. A list of their meetings can be found at this page.
