About Museum of Transport

The Museum of Transport, Manchester has one of the largest collections of its kind in the country. The Collection consists of nearly ninety historical vehicles, of which a large proportion are buses from the Greater Manchester area, as well as a substantial collection of archives and transport related objects, which help to give a wider perspective to the large collection of vehicles. The vehicles themselves represent the development of public road transport in Greater Manchester, from horse-drawn vehicles to the first generation of accessible transport; and also includes the prototype for Metrolink trams.
