East Anglia Transport Museum

The East Anglia Transport Museum displays trams, trolleybuses, and traditional motor vehicles in several exhibition areas with operational railway tracks. The collection spans from the early 1900s and includes restored examples of each vehicle type.

Founded in 1965, the museum documents the development of British transportation systems through preserved vehicles from the early 1900s. The collection shows how public transport evolved across decades through different vehicle types.

The museum's volunteer operators run and maintain the historical vehicles, keeping alive knowledge about transportation systems that shaped daily life decades ago. Visitors watch how these machines actually worked in regular service.

The best time to visit is during warmer months when most vehicles operate and regular rides are available. Pathways connect the different exhibition areas, making it easy to move between vehicles and displays.

Some of the vehicles come from other European countries, showing how tram systems varied across different regions. This gives the museum an international perspective on transport design and operations.
