Workington Transport Heritage Trust
Since its formation in 1997, the Trust and its members have developed a collection of locally important buses, fire appliances and other vehicles. Volunteers assist in restoring, maintaining and operating these.
The Trust also keeps an extensive archive of local bus and rail material, including posters, signage, publicity material, books, magazines, drawings, photographs and petrol pumps.
The historic vehicles are used at a number of events and open days throughout the year and attend local rallies and shows including those at Distington, Cockermouth, Keswick and Carlisle.
