Dewsbury Bus Museum

Dewsbury Bus Museum is a transport museum in Ravensthorpe containing a collection of vintage buses and coaches from Yorkshire displayed in a converted depot building. The vehicles span several decades and represent the evolution of public transportation in the region.

The museum was established in 1989 when a former Yorkshire Woollen District Transport Company depot from the 1930s was transformed for this purpose. The facility preserves this important site connected to the region's transport history and opens it to visitors.

The museum shows how public transportation shaped West Yorkshire over time through its preserved vehicles on display. These buses and coaches reflect the importance of travel in the daily lives of people from the region.

The museum opens only on specific event days throughout the year, so check ahead for opening dates before planning a visit. Visitors can enjoy free bus rides, browse indoor stalls with models, and visit the café when available.

The collection includes two rare Guy Wulfrunian double-deck buses, which are among the few remaining examples of this type. These special vehicles are among the museum's most prized items and attract considerable interest from enthusiasts.
