About Us History Links

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum is a non-profit organisation which relies on donations, sponsorship, funding and the help of it's many volunteers to keep it running. A part of history is kept alive through the careful restoration of the vehicles.
We are always happy to welcome new volunteers to the museum. You don’t need to have knowledge of vehicles (although we always need people who do) as there are plenty of jobs to do.

We need people to help with school visits during the day: we also attend various public shows and events (weeknights or weekends) and need support for this.

Could you help with archiving and the necessary paperwork that goes with it or help to clean and decorate our heritage buses when they go out on hire?

Could you help with visitors on Saturdays and event days?

Could you help to keep the museum clean and tidy?

If you think you can help, please email info@sytm.co.uk or visit the museum on a Saturday or Event Day and speak to one of the regulars. Thank-you!!!

History...
Tinsley Tram Sheds

'Tinsley Tram Sheds' by Mick Rick

Keith Beeden was one of the founding fathers of the bus preservation movement in Sheffield and has been a mainstay of the development of the Museum from a small set of schoolboys in the late 1960s to a fully-fledged and respected Transport Museum today. Here he tells the story up to Easter 2007 in his own words.
