    apparently there is very little money spent from people coming in to view the transport displays in there, it is done as a passion and lets face it its a good place to visit.
    pretty sure hayes will stay the same or get added to as the seem to be adding stuff all the time and the sturgess collection will go in to a pay to view in a seperate location to the trucks, would be awesome to have the bikes and trucks in one place but i think the missus would be bored after the first six hours in a transport museum and i would hate to have to rush through.

    i did go to the old truck museum and was there for a good cple o hours and still felt i had rushed and people who have been to the new one as well say it is even better
