MUSEUMS AND COLLECTIONS
I’m from Cardiff so a little indulgence first:
Cardiff Transport Preservation Group is based in Barry and caters for enthusiasts for South Wales buses, not just Cardiff. Open days and plenty of interest – and it’s by the sea!
Cardiff and South Wales Trolleybus Project is restoring two Cardiff trolleybuses, a long but worthwhile job. Cardiff was an all six wheeler fleet. Take a look:
The Transport Museum Wythall, home to Midland Red and Birmingham City Transport collections. Don’t miss it:
