Vintage bus trips will still run in and around Leven this weekend, despite the postponement of a record-breaking dook attempt.

Around 3,000 people were expected in the Fife town for Sunday’s fundraising dip-a-thon.

And Fife Heritage Railway was laying on a fleet of vintage buses to help with travel and ease parking worries.

However, while the dip-a-thon is no longer happening, you can still take a trip down Memory Lane.

Free heritage bus trips round Leven on offer

FHR is laying on free bus trips for locals and visitors throughout the day as part of its open day. .

The old-style vehicles will travel from the group’s Kirkland Yard via coastal and countryside roads.

It’s the second time they have hosted a bus bundle alongside their annual heritage train rides.

FHR director Khai Slater said: “We’ve got a lot of buses of all ages.

“Some are in preservation and some are still in passenger service.

“They’ll be on display for people to see and also running round the streets of Leven.”

The Fife Heritage Railway open day runs from 10am to 5pm.

It includes heritage train rides, driver for a fiver, food and children’s activities.
