DEWSBURY BUS MUSEUM

WELCOME!

ALMOST THERE! South Yorkshire Motors (Pontefract) No 81 has been parked up awaiting restoration since 1981. A lot of work has been done this year, and the bus now starts "on the button" and drives.

A few minor mechanical bits need doing then she can go for an MOT test. Hopefully she will be on the road for the 2010 rally season. (TWY 8 is an Albion Valiant, which was new in 1950 and re-bodied in 1958. Click HERE for more information about this bus).
