THE  MUSEUM

 Christchurch Busmenz Shed Trust which is the organisation behind the Bus Museum is a 'not for profit' charitable trust. Our objectives are To advance education in restoring and maintaining heritage road passenger transport.
To this end we are endeavouring to establish a small bus museum in the Ferrymead/ Heathcote Valley area where we can display bus material relating mainly to the old Canterbury rural bus services such as that operated by Midland Motorways, Days Motors, Newman Bros., Mt Cook, NZ Railways Road Services and others. We would also take interest in the Education Dept School Bus services that many people from country areas will know. Our aim is to restore several of these old buses and display them at our Museum.

To participate in the provision of charitable excursions for local registered charities and other groups. For this, we have obtained a heritage bus which will be used for local charters and day trips. Bookings can be made by phoning 3557366, or 0274511955.

To cooperate and support other groups with similar aims and objectives, in particular those involved in the restoration and preservation of heritage road transport in Christchurch and Canterbury. Some of our members are also members of the Tramway Historical Society at Ferrymead and other heritage bus groups. We will look to work with these groups to advance this objective.
