What a wonderful little Transport museum. A must see for anyone with an interest in vehicles, transport or local history. It's quite clear a huge amount of time and love had gone into repairing and restoring so many of the exhibits. You can even go on some of the vehicles likegoing back in time Amazing. Hands up to all the volunteers who are involved with the museum. Reasonably priced cafe on site too. Well worth a visit.10/10

As a wheelchair user, the museum is very accessible. There is so much to see, great exhibits with very friendly, knowledgeable volunteer staff, everyone was very kind. The cafe has a good selection of refreshments. Highly recommend a visit.

I went here with my 2 year old. It's a nice activity but the price per adult is PS9 which I find is just a little bit too much. Check opening times before going as they have different times during half term (they are open more often). There is a little cafe inside that has cake and drinks. The toilets are clean. The volunteers are really friendly. My toddler thoroughly enjoyed himself.

A fabulous trip down memory lane visiting this place. Everything from the bicycle I used to ride as a boy, the police car I used to drive, the double decker bus my father drove, even the first electric car, so many transport memories here in this museum. Well worth a visit.

I took my 3.5 year old to visit for the first time. Check the opening times as on the day we went it opened at 1pm. It's a large building containing many vehicles, including fire engines, busses, bicycles and more. My toddler loved going on the busses and trying on the fire fighter hat whilst on the old fire engine. His favourite was the kids mock bus, where he could be the driver and pretend to drive the bus. The train model railway was good too. There is a little cafe onsite. Toilets. Small shop.
