Curator of museum was really amazing. He talk a lot interesting facts about history of the buses. Best tour I ever had in transport museum. You just need to be curious and ask some questions.

Solid place to visit for kids or transport nerds. Note: the depot is unheated, in winter months remember to dress appropriately for a day outside!

The Museum opened to the public in 1979 and used to be a Manchester Corporation bus garage (Upper Hall built in 1928, Lower Hall in 1935 as extensions to the first electric tram depot built in 1901).

Explore the Lower Hall - if you look carefully at the floor, you can see where the platforms and drainage used to be for the original bus washing facilities from 1935

Try the food at the busmans' canteen. Though the menu's limited it is cheap and cheerful - unlike most museum cafés where you need a mortgage for a cup of tea and a scone.
