Our museum includes hundreds of small and large displays, most of which can be seen up close. Favourites include stagecoaches from before ‘Railway Mania’, a snowplough that we’ve actually used and racing cars from all eras.
Our facilities can be made available to store bags and jackets, and there is also a nice place to enjoy lunch if the weather outside is less welcoming! We’ll end the visit in style when the magnificent 1923 Mortier Dance Organ (a great favourite with young and old) is demonstrated playing a couple of tunes for all to enjoy!

College Student?
If you’re a college or mature student who needs more information about a particular transport subject, our collection of photographs and archives are at your disposal. We work hard to offer maximum access to the information that the GTM holds.
Across a wide range of subjects, the GTM is here to help. From photographing historic artefacts to researching transport heritage, we hope we can help.
