The Dewsbury Bus Museum is owned and operated by the West Riding Omnibus Museum Trust and is run by a dedicated group of volunteers. The aim of the Trust is to preserve the transport heritage of the West Riding of Yorkshire and the surrounding areas. Some of our buses and coaches are owned by groups, others by individual members.
We are a Registered Charity, No. 702232, and virtually all of our income is derived from members' subscriptions, the proceeds of events and book sales and rental of space to members to store their own vehicles.
We hold a number events each year, some at the Museum and others in the West Riding area. Full details of all these are on the EVENTS page of this website. Also, we take our buses and coaches to other events and rallies organised by other museums and enthusiast groups.
If you wish to bring a group for a private visit to our museum at other times, please contact us.

Resting at the terminus on Hall Ings in Bradford, today’s Guy Wulfrunian photograph shows a pair of the type in the area now occupied by The Bradford Hotel. Nearest the camera is 883 (THL883) which has its destination blind set for its return trip to Wakefield on the number 57.
It is interesting to compare the “hairlines” of the two Wulfrunians; 883 has “hair” down to the tops of the upstairs window rubbers whilst the unidentified one to the rear has a cream band above them.
It is interesting to see the advertisement for Outspan oranges on the side of 883. This could be one of your “Five a Day” perhaps.
Also worthy of note are the overhead wires for Bradford’s trolleybus system.
