A great selection of buses and other bus memorabilia in one place

Excelente lugar, tiene muchos vehículos ideal para los apasionados de vehículos antiguos y para ir con niños . A mí me encantó.

What a wonderful experience for young and old. Well maintained and beautiful busses and great insight into the history of transportation of Manchester. Bonus trip to the city center and back on a classical bus from the 60s .
