Friends of King Alfred Buses

The Friends of King Alfred Buses (FoKAB) was established in 1985. Its continuing aim is preserve King Alfred buses & coaches and anything and everything to do with King Alfred Motor Services which ceased to exist in 1973.

In 2000 FoKAB became a charitable trust, rather than just a group of enthusiasts preserving buses and coaches. Membership presently stands at about 250 people. Their collective aim is to eventually house all the vehicles together in a living museum in Hampshire to assist in educating the public in the role of transport in Winchester and in the surrounding district. 

In the mean time you will see the buses and coaches at an annual running day, usually on New Year's Day. They can also be seen at other running days and rallies in southern England and at other local events, along with a Mobile Information Unit. Anyone who has travelled on the vehicles at running days or at other events will have noticed that even the crews try to wear the correct uniform of the 1960's.
