Tyneside Heritage Vehicles

We are Tyneside Heritage Vehicles; a group of individuals in the North East pursuing our hobby in saving and preserving some of our region's vehicles.

The group was officially relaunched in August 2014 under the THV name and together we have been able to develop a collection of locally important buses to the North East.
At over 16,000 square feet, our shed currently holds buses which range from ex-Tyne and Wear PTE vehicles to Busways and Northern. The group owns three of these vehicles, with the others being privately owned by individuals and housed at our premise.

As you may know, bus preservation is a demanding and sometimes expensive hobby, therefore many of the vehicles are in the restoration process. However, with the buses that we do have on the road, including our fully restored ones, we regularly showcase them by attending some of the regions rally events, as well as holding our own open days.

The vehicles stored at our premises consist of small midibuses, urban single-deckers and city double-deckers, with vehicle manufacture dates ranging from 1968 to 1994, showcasing the very best of bus industry in the 20th century and beyond.

We also have various cars and vans stored at our facility that individuals have collected over the years - some old school and from the bygone era.

Over the years we have accumulated an extensive archive of local transport material including; bus bits, signs, timetables, magazines, photographs, and promotional material.
