About Oxford Bus Museum
Oxford Bus Museum sits in the old railway station yard at Long Hanborough, right beside Hanborough railway station. The collection began in 1967 when a group of bus enthusiasts formed the Oxford Bus Preservation Syndicate, and it has since grown to around forty vintage buses and coaches, the earliest dating from 1913. Many of the vehicles were operated by City of Oxford Motor Services, with a strong representation of AEC-built buses from Southall, alongside examples from Chiltern Queens, Thames Transit and other local operators. A separate Morris Motors Museum displays cars built in Oxford during the lifetime of William Morris, and there is also a historic cycle collection. Visitors can watch buses and cars being restored from a workshop observation platform, and on selected dates free heritage bus rides are offered. The museum is run entirely by volunteers and operates as a registered charity. An on site café and shop provide refreshments, and discounted summertime admission fees are available. Admission costs five pounds for adults, three pounds for children aged five to fifteen, and thirteen pounds for a family of two adults and two children. The museum is easily reached by train, being just ten minutes from Oxford Railway Station.
