Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester

If you fancy a really interesting, unusual and enjoyable day out, why not pay a visit to Greater Manchester’s Museum of Transport? It is just like taking a trip back in time as you wander through one of Britain’s biggest collection of restored trams, buses and coaches. Your amazing time-travelling journey will take you all the way from an elaborately painted Victorian open-top horse drawn tram, to the streamlined prototype of Manchester’s Metrolink tram. In between you’ll be able to see and sit in fascinating vehicles that range from a 1920’s solid-tyred bus, to early trams, trolley buses and even the ‘charras’ that took Manchester folk on their outings to the coast and countryside.
