About us
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 do not open regularly but 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.
Unfortunately, at the moment, we are unable to accommodate group or private visits to our museum. When we are able to resume, we will update this page so please keep checking.
We are delighted to be able to announce that ex-Yorkshire Traction Volvo B10M/Plaxton Paragon 67, Y967PHL, will be joining our collection in the next few weeks. She has kindly been donated to the Trust by Stagecoach, who acquired "Tracky" in 2005. Stagecoach are currently in the process of removing some of the technology that has been added since she was built in 2001. This will include WiFi, Green Road and CCTV systems.
When new, she would often be found on National Express service 564, running from Halifax to London via Mirfield and Dewsbury, right past the end of Foundry Street.
She is numbered 52967 in the Stagecoach fleet and we are optimistic that she will be ready to run in service at our Running Day on 1st November 2026.

The Ultimate Guy Wulfrunian Book
At last, Basil Hancock's long-awaited book about the Guy Wulfrunian has been published. It is now available from the publisher's website HERE. All profits from the sale of the books will go directly for the continued preservation, restoration and maintenance of the two surviving Guy Wulfrunians at the museum.
