About

OXFORD BUS MUSEUM
William Morris started the first bus service in the City using Daimler buses, one of which the Oxford Bus Museum has on show within its collection of approximately 40 vehicles. Some of these buses you can go aboard and on the 1st and 3rd Sundays of each month (Apr to Oct), most Bank Holidays and on special event days Free Bus Rides can be taken (see website). Also, on site but under restoration is the one and only Morris Motors Band Coach which the Oxford Bus Museum Trust has now restored. MORRIS MOTORS MUSEUM is dedicated to William Morris (Lord Nuffield), the Morris Motors Car Company at Cowley and its employees. The only building to survive from the once famous Morris Motors factory at Cowley has been given a new lease of life, re-erected at the Oxford Bus Museum site to house this exhibition. Real-life photographs and information from the people who worked there and the exhibits that compliment them give visitors a taste of what life was like in this exciting era. On show are vehicles such as the Bullnose Morris, Morris Z Van, Mini, Nuffield Tractor and the Morris Minor, with the centre piece being a 1953 Morris Oxford MO.

Children’s play area, shop and café are also available.
See website for special events.
