Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester, Transport museum in Cheetham Hill, Manchester, England
The Museum of Transport occupies a former bus depot on Boyle Street, housing over 80 buses, trolleybuses, and transport memorabilia from Greater Manchester's history.
The museum opened to the public in 1979 within a Grade II listed building complex that includes a 1901 tram shed and two bus garage sections from 1928 and 1935.
The museum preserves local transport heritage through extensive archives of timetables, maps, books, posters, and photographs documenting Greater Manchester's public transportation evolution.
Visitors can access the museum from Manchester city center via the Queens Road tram stop on Manchester Metrolink, located 200 meters from the entrance.
The collection includes transport items used during the filming of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, along with the prototype body of a Manchester Metrolink tram.
