The South Yorkshire Transport Museum
The Sheffield Bus Museum was first opened in 1987. Up until the end of 2006 it was
housed in part of the former Tinsley Tram Sheds. It has now moved to a new location in Aldwarke, near Rotherham and is now called the South Yorkshire Transport Museum.

The Sheffield Bus Museum Trust
Trust members have "...free access to the Museum on "Special Open Days", receive a quarterly newsletter keeping them in touch with Museum developments and they
also have the opportunity to take an active "hands on" involvement in vehicle restoration, fund raising or the many varied jobs that are essential to the Museum's smooth running. Other
members join the Museum Trust simply to add some financial support through their membership fees."
