Greater Manchester's rich transport heritage is represented by our large collection of restored vehicles from the county, most of which are restored to operational condition. The core of our collection represents the wide variety of fleets absorbed into the Passenger Transport Executive from 1969 onwards. We have embraced the development of public transport in the county by ensuring that the collection continues to grow, including key examples of vehicles through the years.

The Museum project is still developing and restoration work can be seen by visitors giving the display a lively, working atmosphere. In the future, the collection of vehicles and other artefacts relating to the roads of Greater Manchester will continue to expand and the Museum will further develop its facilities as well as restoring items which have already been received but which remain in derelict condition.

The Museum of Transport offers free entry for prebooked school visits, which are available on Wednesdays
