Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester
As the birthplace of the industrial revolution, Greater Manchester’s transport achievements have shaped transportation networks and industrial developments across the globe; from the world’s first passenger railway to one of the busiest UK light rail systems. The Transport Museum pays homage to all manner of transport. It boasts over 70 buses, trams, coaches, and other vehicles on display, some of which you can explore inside.
Love old vehicles? Then this museum is definitely for you. Alongside the vehicles themselves, is a fascinating collection of tickets, timetables, street furniture and uniforms. Together with a large collection of posters, photographs, film and video to bring by-gone transport methods to life to visitors of all ages.
Plans and drawings, records, models and technical documents add to the museum’s rich transport immersion including a comprehensive collection of commemorative brochures. The marketing brochures often marked the official openings of new transport infrastructure such as garages and bus stations.
There’s a packed schedule of events and exhibitions planned across the year including a Morris Minor Show and Classic Car show. You can keep an eye on what's on here
The museum is open on Wednesdays and weekends all year from 10 – 4.30pm.
