Fascinating display of buses, coaches, trams and historic objects inside a 1930s bus garage. Period Tea Room and Shop, plus take a free trip on our buses on certain days throughout the year... The collection spans over 100 years, from an 1890s horse bus to a full size prototype Metrolink tram.
A small yet nice museum. Has lots of old buses a few trams, a couple of short videos to watch and a small cafe. The place took just an hour to slowly walk around but tickets are cheap at PS6. The cafe is basic but dirt cheap, jacket potatoes from PS2.20 Worth a visit if you like buses and want to learn the history of how the trams were replaced
A truly beautiful museum, wonderful volunteers making the visit interactive and engaging very well set out and you can tell from the architecture it's one of the old bus depots, I was obsessed with the tiling in the toilet.
This was a lovely museum for visiting, with classic buses from different eras! There is additions like maps and ticket machine replicas giving insight to them, trams are shown as well back from their early days. Some transport even allows walk on which is brilliant, models are superbly crafted and old signs bring the feel of what it was like for those travellers!
Really enjoyed our few hours at the museum. Something for us as grandparents to reminisce about days gone by, and our 3 nearly 4 year old granddaughter to explore all the buses. Only big mistake we made was making sandwiches, as the cafe was very reasonably priced. At PS6 for adults for admission to the museum, it's an absolute bargain, as all the staff are very passionate about what they do. Check dates and times before you go, as it's only open certain days.
