Welcome to the Omnibus Society's Website

A new Eastbourne book to come soon

The Omnibus Society's objective is to foster an intelligent interest in road passenger transport and its history.

Society News

Regular work days continue at Gracefield on Tuesdays with our focus being former NZRRS Thornycroft number 95. This is now running again after completion of new wiring for the reconditioned starter motor. There is more wood work along with general cleaning and painting.
We welcome anyone interested in being involved with these buses to join the Society. There is no prerequsite for skills and jobs to do to suit your skills and interests. We do need people with Class 2 and P endorsement licenses to come on board as well and can assist people to gain these if not currently held.

In Auckland work is continuing on ARA Mercedes 305 (1527) with workdays most Sundays. Please get in touch to get involved 1527Bus@gmail.com


We are still looking for some seats to suit a SARO bodied Daimler Freeline currently being restored. If you know of any, please send details to email omnibussocietynz@gmail.com.
