Visited as part of their 1940's Day. Loads of period reenactors really brought the place alive. There's a small cafe for a cuppa. Worth a visit if your in the area. Check opening days and times as they're limited.
Nowdays it is so hard to find a museum with free entrance.. I'm of the opinion that they should be open for everyone to have a look around and learn. Well the National Railway Museum is not only free.. it is a place full of history about how the British Railways (and not only), developed through the centuries. It is located just 10 minutes by foot behind York Train Station.
Fantastic small museum. If you like to wander around at a slow pace and read everything as I do then it's fab for a visit. Small gift shop and cafe. Very friendly. Use them or lose them so my advice is go and have a look.Thank you for a lovely visit.
Was good seeing all the old cars and buses. My 3 year enjoyed himself as well. We even got to sit on a bus which was the best bit
What a great place. First time I'd visited was for one of their monthly open weekends in September 2018. There was a classic car event on outside with plenty to see and take photos of. Inside the museum was an Aladdin's cave of historical transport things. From old road signs through to classic cars and buses. Old lorries and push bikes. Also open was the area where they are restoring some old buses. This is primarily a bus museum for South Yorkshire so there's a lot from the region but plenty of other things to keep you saying 'ah, I remember those cars, bikes, signs or whatever'. There's a cafe and toilets too and also a shop to buy transport related books and magazines.It's certainly a place I'll be going to again and again.
