02) East Anglia Transport Museum.

Situated at Carlton Colville, just outside Lowestoft in Suffolk, the East Anglia Transport Museum has been on my 'must visit' list for some time. I finally made it in August, 2007.

There are, amongst other things, trams, buses and trolleybuses, all from a bygone era. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
