As the Ipswich Transport Museum are revamping the museum, we hope this gives a different experience to old and new guests who visit the museum. We have moved the hearse to the restoration area so our engineers will look into its' issues. The Vauxhall Omega saloon police car has been moved to the front area of the museum alongside with the Ford pickup truck.
Also the doors which are connected to a chain will be transformed to a 'button' operation to make it much more simpler to use instead of manually pulling and pulling.
Leyland Atlantean 6 will hopefully be in usage for 2019 as its undergoing a new speedometer, and other bits and bobs.
The shop will have a refurb; also the tearoom.
This is going to take a tonne of effort to make this a 'nice place to be' for the customers and employees at the museum including myself.
The floors will be repainted and will be the self-same colours.
Cambridge Horse Tram from 1880 will be on display in the main exhibit hall with Edwin the horse.
And for news I have discovered: the Ipswich Transport Museum has been shortlisted for the tourism awards in 2019 for small visitor attractions within Norfolk and Suffolk!

I will place more blogs about the refurb in Jan.
