Oxford Bus Museum opens for Museums at Night

Oxford Bus and Morris Motors Museums will be taking part in Museum At Night’s late night opening on Wednesday 13 May. The museums are open every Wednesday from 10.30am until 4.30pm but on 13 May will remain open until 9pm. The museum is next to Hanborough Station and it is anticipated that commuters returning home and local residents will drop in.

We shall also be supporting the Oxfordshire Museum, which is also participating in this national event, by sending one of our vintage buses and a classic car to their entrance in Park Street, Woodstock.
