Keighley Bus Museum Trust

Welcome!

Based in Keighley and a short walk from Keighley railway station, Keighley Bus Museum is housed in the former ex-foundry building off Dalton Lane at Riverside.

It houses a superb collection of buses of all ages from 1924 to 2000, many from local bus companies in West Yorkshire and some from further away. Also there are emergency vehicles from the Police and Fire service on view, together with other transport related vehicles many of which are on the button ready to go. There is also a variety of trolleybuses, including WT 7101 the 1924 Keighley Corporation Straker Clough trolleybus which is currently undergoing restoration.

Don’t hesitate to contact us by letter, phone use the contact information below, or send a message using the form. We may also provide accommodation for your treasured vehicle, please get in touch for details/inquiries.

Unfortunately, all events (including the “Twilight” event) are now cancelled. The Museum remains open to visitors and appointments. Telephone 07465 897497 or Email board@kbmt.org.uk

Important – Please note!

The “Twilight” event arranged for Sunday 6th of November which appears on the “Classicbus” website will NOT take place. Efforts are ongoing to ask them to remove this from their site however difficulties in contacting them are being experienced.

Once again apologies however no events are earmarked for the Museum at this time but callers are welcome for a “impromptu” tour (preferably on weekends). Please telephone if required using the number on our website.

Thank you.

Can we remind members/friends and any enquiries from the public that we are an unpaid Charitable organisation, and therefore not always able to reply to telephone calls as many of the Board members are otherwise employed. If you have not received a reply please try to communicate via text or email.

Thank you!

The Chairman and Board of Directors wish to thank all who participated in the AGM at Riverside on the 25th September. The members balloted at the meeting voted for the current full Board to remain in place at what was a friendly and constructive meeting. Thank you to in the main to Director Marlene Waye, Monica Holroyd and others for their providing of refreshments. Full members not attended will be informed in due course of developments.

Regular updates will continue on this and our website pages.
