About Us...

Swansea Bus Museum restores, operates and displays buses that were once in regular use by public transport companies across South and West Wales.

Our impressive collection mainly consists of vehicles operated by South Wales Transport (SWT) and First Cymru, together with two fine examples of London Transport Routemasters. It is also home to a selection of American cars, commercial vehicles and Land Rovers.

We're open each Sunday between 11am and 4pm.

Admission is £5 for adults and £1 for children over 5 yrs.
A heritage bus is run from the museum at around 1pm each Sunday.

The museum welcomes organised groups and parties of visitors, particularly schools by appointment.

Our celebration of the seventieth year of Land Rover production, with a display of the unique four wheel drive machines at the Viking Way premises last Sunday, proved a great success.

Although the hoped-for seventy examples of the marque was narrowly missed, a superb array of the Land Rover models, from the most early basic days up to the luxurious Range Rover versions of today with every imaginable fitment, was presented. In that 2018 model range the show was supported superbly by Likes Land Rover of Brecon and Hay on Wye, bringing their latest luxury models that, despite the gleaming paintwork and opulent interior, looked totally at home amidst the host of earlier models of deservedly proud owners from far and wide in the Principality.

One of the furthest travelled was John Hughes and his family, who had journeyed down from Flintshire for the weekend in their bright yellow Range Rover P38 Special Edition model, one of only three in that original colour in Britain It's still immaculate despite having over three hundred thousand miles to its credit!

There were the amazingly modified models too, perhaps best illustrated by the Kenfig LRC short wheel base Defender named 'Beastie', fitted with massive wheels and tyres and raised suspension among its many modifications, such that there would be hardly any obstacle it could not overcome!

Organisers were faced with a difficult task in selecting the 'best in show' from the host of the 'Landies' present, but - by an overwhelming margin - exhibitors and visiting public alike chose the pristine 1965 Land Rover SWB Series 2A of owner driver Paul Batchelor of Neath (pictured, right), his model restored to stunning condition in a five year labour of love, and a deserving winner. The Land Rover is pictured alongside the new Likes of Brecon & Hay Defender.
