If you’re expecting to visit some fun ‘interactive’ museum, think again. This museum is strictly for those people interested in gearboxes and where the engine was stored on the bus.
The one word to describe this museum is ‘cramped’. Even in the modern block where there are some great explanatory posters, you’ll spend half your time moving out of the way to let somebody pass. There are some lovely old buses in this part but the keyword is ‘look and don’t touch’. You’re not allowed into the passenger section of the bus, let alone given a chance to get behind the wheel.
Elsewhere the museum seems jammed with buses. Much is made about their collection of electronic vehicles such as milk floats. But when I was there, these were stuck at the back of a garage behind loads of buses and were very difficult to see.
It only cost £4 to go to this museum so I don’t want to be too harsh. It’s nice to look at old buses. But this museum could be so much more than it is. Less emphasis on quantity and more on quality.
