Welcome to the website of
We are the biggest collection of preserved West Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive (Metro or WYPTE)/Yorkshire Rider buses, all housed or periodically displayed in their homeland of Yorkshire.
Take yourself back in time, and remember how West Yorkshire was. Many things might have changed, but those green and cream buses are one thing that people remember fondly.
Here at Transport Yorkshire Preservation Group, we relive the era of buses painted in verona green and buttermilk, and later in Yorkshire Rider's bright green and jonquil.
"Two households, both alike in dignity, In fair Verona, where we lay our scene, From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, Where civil blood makes civil hands unclean."
William Shakespeare, Romeo & Juliet, prologue LL 1-5. Little did Shakespeare know his beloved city would be used to name the paint that was used on buses in another country.Please make your selection from the menu to the left to view the other pages. News is often a good starting point.
