The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum is home to a unique collection of vintage vehicles, showcasing the Island’s transport heritage over the past century.

Housed in a former grain storage warehouse, on Newport Quay, the collection ranges from a 1889 tram car and a 1927 Daimler, to more recent vehicles. But being a working museum, many restored vehicles are put back in action on special occasions such as bus rallies, carnival events and special running days.

The next running day is on 19 October 2008 – the main event of the year.

You can get to the museum running days on route 9 via Fairlee or on route 5. Both stop at Seaclose Stores, the nearest stop to the museum.

The museum also run a free connecting bus service between Newport bus station and the museum on running days.
