Visited on bank holiday Monday this week and had a lovely time! We were the only ones there at the time! So got to chat to some of the staff! They were all lovely and very friendly. Could tell you so much about the vehicles. They had a lovely Jaguar E-type, an awesome ice cream van, buses and military transport. It's definitely worth a look and a nice day out! ☺️

Great compact meuseum with a strong focus on the Midlands transport industry. Staffed by friendly and Knowledgeable enthusiasts who are happy to talk you about the exhibits. A varied collection to view covering the last 100 years including Buses, Trucks, Vans, Cars and Motorbikes along with associated static exhibits and memorabilia. A very hands on museum where you have full access to most exhibits to touch and feel and climb aboard the exhibits. The low entrance fee of £4 for adults and £2 for children makes this mueseum accessible to all.

Wheelchair accessible here. Small car park. Plenty of room to manoeuvre inside. The vehicles on display here are truly amazing. Lots of displays to look at. Old posters and knowledgeable staff. We took my father in law here for his birthday, he loved it so much, bought back a lot of memories for him.
