East Anglia Transport Museum

East Anglia Transport Museum Once inside the museum there is so much to see and do that you'll want to stay all day.

Here at Carlton Colville you will find a museum unique to the last detail, for this is the only place in the British Isles were visitors can not only view but also ride on all three principal forms of public transport from the earlier part of the 20th Century. whether you take a ride on the Woodland Tramway or experience the silence and comfort of the trolleybus service, there is a new discovery t

o be made every minute. Or why not soak up the atmosphere of the museum with a walk through our street scene - complete with authentic street furniture. There is also ample opportunity to view the many vehicles in the museum collection and see how these are restored to their former glory. Hear the swish of trolleypoles, the purr of the diesel engine or the rhythmic hiss of steam, making this a real trip back in time.

โ˜€๏ธ WHAT A SUMMER ITโ€™S BEEN! ๐Ÿš‹๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿš‚

As the summer holidays draw to a close, weโ€™d like to take a moment to look back at what has been an incredible summer here at the East Anglia Transport Museum.

Over the past six weeks, weโ€™ve welcomed over 4,000 visitors through our gates, travelling from near and far to step back in time and experience our trams, trolleybuses, buses and East Suffolk Light Railway.

From busy operating days to our brand-new Showtime Sundays, itโ€™s been fantastic to see the museum bustling with families, enthusiasts, familiar faces and plenty of first-time visitors.

Of course, none of it would be possible without the huge amount of work that goes on behind the scenes. Our museum is run by volunteers, who give up countless hours to drive and crew our vehicles, operate the railway, staff our attractions, maintain our collection and keep everything running throughout the season.

And most importantly, thank you to everyone who has visited us this summer. Whether it was your first visit or your fiftieth, every admission, purchase, donation and kind word helps us continue preserving our unique collection for future generations.

โค๏ธ From all of us at the East Anglia Transport Museum โ€“ thank you for an unforgettable summer!

But 2026 isn't over yet... there's plenty more to come! ๐Ÿ‘€

A little sneak peek showing a before and after of some of the work being undertaken on Blackpool tram 159.

Thanks to the excellent work carried out by Nottingham Platers the freshly chrome plated handbrake handles and controller tops really make 159 shine.

Don't forget to join us for our festival of transport on 26th & 27th September where we hope to have 159 back in service.
