PJX 35 rediscovered!

Well, it's not quite as dramatic as that, but this Halifax bus had been tucked away in a corner of the shed for about eight years. On 18th July 2010 a massive tidy-up of the Museum took place, when several buses were moved to different positions.

PJX 35 was brought back to life, and was driven under her own power again. Click HERE to read more about this.

The photo shows the bus in the open air for the first time in almost a decade.

Gala Day in Ravensthorpe!

Six-year-old Ibrahim Hanif wants to be a bus driver when he grows up!

Saturday 3rd July was a big

day for the people of

Ravensthorpe, the area

around Dewsbury Bus

Museum.

Instead of travelling miles to show off our buses at distant rallies, we took part in a day of fun, right on our own doorstep. TWY 8 went to the gala in Garden Street, while "Ethel" (EHL 344) went to the Ravensthorpe Infants' School summer fair.

Most of the people at the events had not been born when these buses were in service and were fascinated as they looked over them, both inside and out. The kids (and a few grown-ups!) queued up to sample the driving seats and pose for photographs on a gloriously sunny day.

And, for a change, we met people who are not bus enthusiasts!
