Elizabeth McKay is a cultural leader and advocate for representation and inclusion within the transport heritage sector and beyond. As Director and CEO of the London Transport Museum, she leads one of the UK’s most engaging public institutions, using the power of storytelling and history to shape a more inclusive future.
Elizabeth was appointed as a Women in Bus and Coach Ambassador on 29th April 2025 during the unveiling of the Jill Viner blue plaque at the London Transport Museum, a significant moment honouring London’s first female bus driver and celebrating women’s contributions to the bus, coach and community transport industry.
Under Elizabeth’s leadership, the Museum has deepened its commitment to diversity and education, championing initiatives that inspire the next generation, challenge stereotypes, and highlight the often-overlooked stories of women in transport.
As a Women in Bus and Coach Ambassador, Elizabeth brings a cultural and educational lens to the organisation, helping to connect the past with the present and empowering more women to see themselves as part of the future of the bus, coach and community transport sector.
