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.

OCTOBER VISITORS' PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURE
About us
2021 is "The Year of the Guy Wulfrunian"
The Guy Wulfrunians - ALL OF THEM!
DECEMBER VISITORS PHOTOGRAPHY FEATURE
Each day, from 1st January 2021 to the end of May, we featured a photograph of each and every Guy Wulfrunian - our "Guy Wulfrunian Of The Day" - in West Riding fleet number order, starting with prototype 863. The non-West Riding ones were featured later and right at the end, a few "specials".
The photographs have been added to our Guy Wulfrunians - ALL OF THEM album on Flickr. You can see them by clicking HERE or by looking in our Flickr album at:
To celebrate it, we featured.....
This is our 50th Anniversary Year

Heath Common, Wakefield
MESSAGE FOR MEMBERS: Because of the announcement by the government, the June meeting has been cancelled. Your packs for the Heath Common Running Day can be collected from the Museum on Monday 21st June between 11am and 5pm or phone Mark Byard if you cannot get there on that day.
You can download copies of these posters by clicking on the small images above.
The top one features coloured text on a plain background, the middle one is just black on a plain background (both of these are ideal for printing on coloured A4 paper) and the bottom one features coloured text on a green background - beware, this one will use lots of green ink!
Please feel free to print off as many as you want and display them in prominent locations. You can also post them on social media and share them with other groups.
You can then take photographs of the posters where you have put them and then post it on our Facebook page. There will be a small prize for the best location photograph sent in. This will be judged by the webmaster whose decision is final.
