We are situated in north Worcestershire, just to the south of Birmingham near to M42 Juntion 3 so we're also handily placed for visitors from the West Midlands and further afield. The museum is home to over 90 buses. Midland Red, WMPTE blue and cream and the corporation fleets from Birmingham, Walsall, West Bromwich and Wolverhampton are all represented, plus local independent operators.
Our main event days feature free vintage bus rides running all day and a miniature steam railway for you to ride on, plus visiting buses and sales stands. For that special occasion such as a wedding, birthday or club outing why not book a vintage bus? Does you group need a day out or are you looking for a venue for your club's next meeting?

About Us
Report
All facets of the museum are staffed by volunteers who you can see restoring and maintaining the collections. The Museum was originally set up by the Birmingham and Midland Motor Omnibus Trust, formed in 1977 as a registered charity. Buildings were opened in 1980, 1990, 2007 and 2012 to meet the Trust's determination to have a roof over all its vehicles.
Our History
Report
The preservation of old buses and coaches in the Midlands began in 1964. The veterans were kept in factory and farm yards, wherever a kindly soul could be found. Unfortunately, kindly souls would move on or local authorities turn unfriendly and the search would begin again for another home. Every so often ideas ran out and a vintage bus, priceless today, would have to be scrapped.
Miniature Railway
Report
Transport Museum Wythall is pleased to include The Wythall Miniature Railway in its list of attractions. This ride-on miniature railway is operated by the Elmdon Model Engineering Society within the museum site, charging a supplement of 1 per ride for children of all ages above three and is great fun for all the family.
Group Visits
Report
At slightly higher cost per head, a guided tour with optional refreshments will enhance your visit to the museum; as these are pre-booked we are happy to conduct these outside normal opening hours too.
