Most of the buses are displayed in their restored condition, but some are under restoration, and you can see how much work is necessary to reach the high standard.
Explore the history of this village and the site; there are all sorts of things to turn and switches to push. The kids (and adults too) can sit in some of the bus drivers' cabs, with one of the staff to explain what everything does.
