Oxford Bus Museum, Transport museum in Long Hanborough, England.
Oxford Bus Museum holds a collection of historic buses and coaches that show the evolution of public transport over decades. The site also features vehicles from Morris Motors, displaying the range of British vehicle manufacturing from different eras.
The museum grew from the efforts of enthusiasts dedicated to preserving historic vehicles and protecting them from being scrapped. Its relocation to a former railway goods yard gave it the space needed to expand and develop into a proper facility.
The collection reflects how buses shaped local transport and daily life in the region, with many vehicles that once served Oxford's residents on their everyday journeys. These machines represent the connection between industrial progress and community needs.
The museum can be reached by train or bus, as it sits near Hanborough railway station and bus services serve the area regularly. It is best to check opening days ahead of your visit, as access is limited to specific times throughout the week.
The workshop area allows visitors to watch volunteers actively restoring and maintaining the vehicles, offering a rare look at how historic machines are brought back to life. This hands-on work reveals the dedication needed to keep these treasures in good condition.
