abstract	The museum itself is owned by the Greater Manchester Passenger Transport Executive, having been established at the Boyle Street site, Cheetham Hill, in 1979. The museum was set up to actively promote interest in the history and heritage of Greater Manchester's local passenger transport system. The day-to-day running of the museum is carried out by volunteers from the Greater Manchester Transport Society. The museum collection is constantly developing and restoration work can be often be seen by visitors giving the display a lively, working atmosphere. In the future, the collection of vehicles and other artefacts relating to the roads of Greater Manchester will continue to grow, with the Museum further developing its facilities as well as restoring items which have already been received but which still remain in derelict condition currently. With GMPTE's continuing support, it is hoped the museum will continue to be a focal point and a major attraction of its type. The museum holds a sizeable collection of buses and transport relate artefacts, one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Due to the limited size of the building, some vehicles have to be kept off-site, with exhibits changed around every so often. In addition, vehicles often attend external events around the country during the summer months.
