This museum concentrates on historic trolleybuses, trams and buses, all of which are running around the rather compact site. You can ride on trams and trolleybuses as often as you like, and they lay on shuttle buses to Lowestoft and Beccles for special events. Everyone is so friendly and laid back - a thoroughly fantastic day out!

A wonderful place to visit and one of few in the UK where real trolley buses operate. This museum should not be missed having a wide appeal to all members of the family, unlike some attractions in the area which have a limited appeal.

We had a flyer for the museum which was handy as the day we went the museum is normal closed. From where we wear staying in Pakefield the drive was really easy and the museum is well sign posted. The museum opened at 1300hrs, however due to a very slow system of entry we did not get into the museum... More

We've been visiting the Lowestoft area for the last 12 years visiting my in-laws and only in the last couple of years saw the signs for the EATM, but never paid them any attention. This year, we did a bit of reading up in advance and decided to give it a whirl and see what it was like. We were... More

...but this museum is like no other. You'll wonder how they manage to pack in so many types of transport in such a small space. The obvious and most nostalgic are the trams and trolleybuses standing at their termini just inside the entrance. Nearby there is also a narrow-gauge light railway and there are static displays of road vehicles. Nothing... More
