We currently have quite a few drivers, however if you have a current PCV licence and a valid driver CPC we can add you to our list. Conductors/Guards are also welcome, you just need to be friendly with the public and we'll show you what to do! All our drivers also contribute to the running of the museum in other volunteer ways. Note that we are unable to provide training for bus drivers.
