SOUTH YORKSHIRE TRANSPORT MUSEUM Aldwarke, near Rotherham The South Yorkshire Bus Museum is located at Aldwarke, near Rotherham. The Museum is situated just off the A6123 on Waddington Way at Aldwarke. First Group's X78 service provides a frequent service from Sheffield, Rotherham and Doncaster to the Mushroom Roundabout. From there it's about a 20 minute walk to the Museum. The Sheffield Bus Museum first opened in 1987. Up until the end of 2006 it was housed in part of the former Tinsley Tram Sheds. Buses can be hired. A Doncaster 188, a Leyland Titan PD2/40 (new in 1963 to Doncaster Corporation Transport) and Sheffield 687 (new in 1953 to Sheffield Corporation Transport). In 2010 the buses were hired out on 35 occasions. They are keen to encourage more people to join the South Yorkshire Transport Museum. 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 to add some financial support through their membership fees. Open Days Special Event Days in 2011 will be 18th September (Rally Day), 9th October, 13th November, and 11th December. These dates are all Sundays. Entry charges are £3.50 for adults and £2 for children and senior citizens. There's also a Family Ticket priced at £8, which covers 2 adults and up to 3 children. The Museum also has Open Days every Saturday except at Christmas and New Year, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m where there will be members working on the many different vehicles, and visitors find it interesting to see how much work goes into vehicle preservation. These Open Days are free to attend. Membership costs £15 per year for adults and £10 per year for children and senior citizens. Transport Museum Official Site.
