What visitors say
Such a wonderful place to go for a great day out. You get to ride trolley buses, trams and the train as many times as your heart desires, and all included in the entrance fee! They change the vehicles available each day, so you can get a different experience every time you visit. The staff are all wonderful, knowledgeable, and kind, and have some great stories! If you visit the cafe, which I highly recommend, definitely try the chips and the cake. Everything is great quality and very reasonably priced. This is the perfect day out for vehicle enthusiasts of all ages! A hidden gem full of history!

Had such a great time here with my 17 year old son and 90 year old dad. Brought many memories back for him. A true treasure. Staff were absolutely amazing people and very informative. Tram rides were fantastic. Loved every minute there. Will definitely be back.

Weather was scattered showers but we still enjoyed our visit. We travelled on an old Trolley Bus. Which does 3 laps of the museum. Then jumped on a Tram which travelled the full length of the museum. then we went on a narrow gauge railway.. you can ride all of them as many times as you want. The museum has a lot of interesting vehicles to see mostly old Busses and Trams but also vintage cars and motorcycles. They also have a steam road roller with the trailer fully restored showing how the road men lived on the roads. Also they have created shops from the past with interesting articles from 1940s to 1960s.

Lovely well maintained trams, buses, cars and motor bikes. On the day we went there were two trams 1 bus and the small train to go on as many times as you like. The staff are lovely and knowledgeable. Very disability friendly with easy access to all exhibitions. Free parking with several dedicated disability spaces. Small tea room
