Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester – A Journey Through Time

🚍 Step inside one of Manchester’s earliest bus garages and explore over a century of public road transport history. From an 1890s horse bus to a full-size prototype Metrolink tram, this museum charts the evolution of Greater Manchester’s transport infrastructure—from municipal pride to privatized chaos.

📍 Located in Cheetham Hill, the museum occupies a Grade II listed building that once housed electric trams and Corporation buses. Volunteers keep the wheels turning, preserving rare vehicles, vintage signage, and the occasional whiff of diesel nostalgia.

🕰️ Whether you're a trolleybus romantic, a double-decker devotee, or just here to decode the logic behind route numbering, this place is a goldmine of archival grit and mechanical charm.

🎟️ Open to the public with regular themed events, guided tours, and enough historical context to make TfGM blush.
