I do think in the short term Beamish Museum is an excellent shout as they could benefit from having Low Floor Buses operating the Museum Shuttles as I noticed those who were Elderly/Disabled struggled with the older vehicles in use. I think it would massively improve the accessibility aspect for those individuals visiting Beamish in turn potentially boosting visitor numbers.

Unlikely. Given the egos and general petulance of some of the people involved in those groups, I doubt Beamish would have much time for them on a long-term basis.
