History and profile

''Buses'' was published as ''Buses Illustrated'' from 1949 until 1968. 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. 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. Due to the continued success of ''Buses'' magazine, the publishers launched a show in 2014 called “Buses Festival”. This takes place at the British Motor Museum in Gaydon, Warwickshire every August. 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.
