I love vehicles. Some beautiful old cars. Stacked with memorabilia. Loads of buses. Great smell of old cars. Staff are very welcoming and friendly. We were well looked after and they had a real passion for what they do and know what they are talking about.

Fabulous day at this bus open day. Free entry and rides on vintage buses. Spending money on reasonably priced drinks and food, helping towards the upkeep of this wonderful transport museum. Only found this event by chance from a Facebook advert.

If you’ve ever fancied stepping into a time machine powered by diesel, nostalgia, and the faint smell of history (and maybe a bit of cold air), then the Lincolnshire Road Transport Museum is your place. First things first: it’s run by volunteers, absolute legends who clearly love these vehicles more than central heating. And it shows. The money is spent where it matters – on beautifully restored buses, classic cars, and treasures that make you say “Ooo, I remember those!” rather than on fancy lighting or heating. Wrap up warm, because it’s brisk in there. Think “arctic bus depot chic”. But honestly, once you’re distracted by the jaw-dropping black Ford Capri looking like it’s just driven out of a 1980s cop show, you forget your fingers have gone numb. There’s far more than buses too. Pushbikes, old telephones, AA boxes, motoring memorabilia, and enough retro goodness to keep both kids and adults pointing at things saying, “We had one of those!” Speaking of kids – they go in free with an accompanying adult, and adults only pay a fiver. In today’s world, that’s basically pocket change down the back of the sofa. The location is spot on, with loads of parking, and it’s genuinely well worth a visit even if you’re not a full-blown bus enthusiast. You might arrive thinking “I’ll have a quick look,” and leave an hour later oddly emotional about a double-decker. Support it, donate if you can, and enjoy a cracking slice of transport history… just maybe bring a coat.

A volunteer run museum showcasing a substantial collection of road transport mainly from the local area with a particular emphasis on buses, however, also a collection of cars, vans, and cycles. Access allowed to the exhibition area and the workshops all for a small entrance fee of £5. Free on site parking.

Absolutely fascinating. Very busy, lots of families, great to see children so excited and interested in these old vehicles. The museum is larger than I had envisaged, with much more than vehicles here. Road signs, photographs, badges, vehicles waiting to be renovated, an AA box, rooms kitted out as old workshops .... and on it goes. Bus rides all day, always full - there must have been 4 or 5 out constantly. We went on the open topped bus, a good 20 - 30 minutes ride. Fabulous. Lots of enthusiastic volunteers, lot's of people reminiscing. The cafe didn't really keep up, too many visitors I think. Long queues at times, and most definitely not enough toilets .. but that was acceptable given the huge numbers there. I really hope people donated generously, this was a free event, even the bus rides were free (I personally think there should have been a small charge, at least to cover the fuel used on each run), given the amount to see and do I would wholly recommend a visit to this amazing museum. There are various 'events' on during the year - see their website and don't miss out !!!!
