locomotion: the national railway museum at shildon印象
-
This is a good example of a modern railway museum. As well as having an interesting range of locomotives and rolling stock, there are plenty of activities for kids to do, a very well stocked shop and a reasonable cafe. The whole site is quite big, and it's quite easy to not realise that there are plenty of other buildings away from the main building. Good day out though.

This is an amazing attraction which allows visitors to get up close to locomotives and visit period correct railway houses and offices from the age of steam. Coming from Crewe we were happy to find Cornwall Steam Engine in the museum as it was originally built in Crewe. We loved our visit and would happily go again.

My grandchildren ages 9,5,3 and 6month love to visit the museum they have been many times and each time find something different to catch their attention they love doing the crafts that the museum put out and have fun playing connect four and building the bricks into the tallest tower. We usually take a picnic with us and have eaten inside and out

We visited as a family today 16.01.1015 and thought they would have more, but did enjoy what was on display. We would go again when they have other stuff on and now realise that not everything is at this site. The food in the cafe was nice and all the staff/volunteers are very helpful and answered any questions we had.

An excellent free attraction. Plenty to amuse and entertain young and old alike. Educational and ejoyable.

This centre is an extention to the main centre in York. It is a little distance from car park to the centre, but the gentle walk is reasonably pleasant. Unfortunately some dog owners are irresponsible and that make for not too nice a walk, especially in the hot summer months. Once at the centre, entry is free and there are a variety of locomotives to whet the taste of most train enthusiast. There are information boards and some interactive displays for the children. Some trains you can board and have a look around,others are cordened for health and safety reasons. There is a small cafe inside which can be a little pricey. There is also a steam train that you can board that runs up and down the track. About 1/4 of a mile each way. This ride is chargeable.Then if you are bitten by the bug, than you need and want to visit the main museum in York.

Always more to see at locomotion. We are regular visitors, often popping in for a couple of hours, or longer. Whilst it is free, they do have costs, so we encourage folks to make a donation in their collecting boxes. Good place to take family, our grandkids love it. In holidays, they always have FREE events on for the kids.

I was surprised how much had been done to the centre to attract the visitors, with the selection of trains to see

Visited the museum as have a 2 year old son, and enjoyed the experience, lots to do for children, there isn't a fee for entry but the museum do ask for donations, the parking is free. would take the children back here again.

This Museam is one of several from York, through Darlington to Shildon.Known widely to Rail Enthusiasts, Shildon was the base of Timothy Hackworth and 'Stephenson's Rocket.You cannot fail to be impressed.
