From the Wikipedia article
The Isle of Wight Bus & Coach Museum, also referred to as The Isle of Wight Bus Museum, was founded in 1997 in Newport on the Isle of Wight in the United Kingdom. The museum is a registered charity and run completely by volunteers. The vehicle collection is currently housed in the former bus depot at Ryde, Isle of Wight. The museum hosts two bus rallies of its own. The May Running Day, branded as Rydabus, emphasises local heritage with a selection of operational vintage buses recreating authentic Isle of Wight routes from the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. In contrast, the October Wightrider event adopts a broader national perspective, inviting heritage buses from across the United Kingdom to join displays and running services alongside the museum's own collection.
