Historic bus garage containing collection of vintage buses, coaches and commercial vehicles, plus large model railway layout and other artefacts. Entrance is free but all donations welcome (registered charity). Special events each year are advertised on Facebook and Website. Museum operated entirely by volunteers of the Castle Point Transport Museum Society. Open first and third Sundays April to September and Second Sunday in October, 10.30 to 16.00.
We had a wander around the transport museum it killed a hour or so. Loads of fantastic buses and transport. It's amazing that they have been restored and ready to go on the road. We went on the bus tour and the young lad Jack was absolutely amazing the knowledge that he had of the history of the buses was fantastic I was very impressed with him. The volunteers that make this museum still running is amazing. Keep up the good work. Will be back to visit soon
It's a great way to spend an hour, and it's free (donations accepted). A fine collection of buses from mostly the Essex area, with a couple of fire engines, the knowledgeable owner of one, had some great stories to tell from his time in the Fire Brigade. And there was the odd surprise, the blue car (shown) from a Gerry Anderson film. Bus rides were available, too. If you want to support a museum run by volunteers and want something a bit different, you could do a lot worse.
Took my wife as she was part of the little market that was going on inside selling various items. Some unusual vehicles
You are free to wander amongst the exhibits, many of which are privately restored and owned. So understandably no acces inside allowed in some of them. However, this does not matter when there are enthusiastic volunteers who can explain the working history, restoration and current role. Good tea, clean toilets and parking!
Great place with lots of vintage buses. Its located in an old bus depot and still has some of the rooms set out as they would have been when the depot was active. There is also a large model railway set upstairs (there is an admission charge for this, but the rest is usually free). Toilets, cafe and limited disabled access and parking are available. The volunteers are very helpful and knowledgeable. It is quite small, so allow an hour for your visit. Check their website for opening as it's only open part of the year.
Lovely place to visit. It is only small depot but very interesting. Lots of people to talk to. Plus there's a fantastic model railway upstairs. Was only allowed on one bus. Parking area not very big. But they do a small tour. We were asked to come back in October. To have one of these tours.
