Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre Museum

Nottingham Transport Heritage Centre is a transport museum and restoration centre located on the outskirts of Ruddington, Nottinghamshire, England. It preserves historic buses and commercial vehicles and includes on-site workshops for vehicle restoration.

The centre displays a collection of preserved buses and other road vehicles alongside restoration bays and display areas. The site holds special event days and running days when vehicles are demonstrated; some exhibits are movable and may be operated on public event dates.

The collection and on-site activities are assembled and run by volunteer groups and trusts focused on vehicle preservation; ownership and management are community-based rather than municipal. Over time the centre has expanded its restoration facilities to support longer-term conservation projects.

The centre sits beside the village of Ruddington on the southern outskirts of Nottingham, within Nottinghamshire. It is accessed from local roads serving Ruddington and the surrounding suburban and rural area.

• Visiting hours: Opening days and events vary; the site is run largely by volunteers so opening times and special running days change seasonally - check the centre’s official site before visiting.

The site is reached by local roads off the A611 or A60 corridors around Nottingham; public transport options include regional buses and nearby rail stations (Hucknall and Bulwell are local rail points). Visitors should check the Centre’s event calendar and local bus timetables for the nearest stops and shuttle services on running days.

• Check the centre's events calendar-open days and running weekends often coincide with volunteer restorations and working demonstrations.
• If travelling by train, nearby Hucknall station (on the Robin Hood line) is a local rail option; local buses or a short taxi will get visitors to the site.
• Bring layers: heritage sheds are large but not always heated on chilly English mornings.
