The Glasgow Museum of Transport is a big hall containing a large collection of train carriages, buses, bicycles, cars… dating as far back as the 19th century. The collection of bicycles is quite amazing as there is a vast quantity of them in all sorts of weird shapes and sizes.
Of interest is the reproduction of Glasgow’s Kelvin Street as it would have appeared in 1938, with period vehicles, shops, subway stations and even an old cinema.
We were most impressed by the display of ship models. There are more than 250 models of ships that were built in Clyde shipyards, including the cruise ship Queen Elizabeth 2, the Royal Yacht Britannia, and the paddle steamer Waverley, which still sails in the Firth of Clyde.
This is a museum for “Petrol heads”, engineers and children, who will definitely love the big trains and the old buses.
Easiest way to get here is by the Underground train to Kelvin Hall.
