At the unveiling of its magnificently restored 1881 horse-drawn tram, John Harwood, the vice lord-lieutenant of Oxfordshire, praised the skill and perseverance of the volunteers who had brought it back to life. The Oxford Bus Museum, he said, was 'a little known gem', 'a bit quirky'. Quirky or not, we understand what he means and regard it as a compliment. The museum has always been run by dedicated volunteers; there have never been any employees. Most are bus enthusiasts interested in the restoration of old buses. Our workshop can accommodate six buses and there is a separate woodworking shop. For those who work there, it is a joy and labour of love. |
