Advantages: Free, interesting, keeps kids entertained

Disadvantages: None!

This is a great museum, fantastic for whiling a few hours away in York on a rainy day. The easiest way to find the museum is to go through the railway station, and follow the signs. The museum itself has free admission, which is a bargain considering how mny trains they have. Engines range from the classic steam locomotives all the way up to a modern Japanese bullet train. It's a great place for adults who are interested in trains, and also for children. There are a number of interactive exhibits, and you can get into a few of the engines. There are also a few exhibits which change on a regular basis, at the moment the Duchess of Hamilton locomotive is on display, and will be until December 2009.

The museum is open daily from 10am till 6pm. Sometimes there are special events on, which are worth having a look at. There are three main halls which showcase the engines. There is also an extensive gift shop, and a few cafes dotted around.

Summary: Great day out in York if you're fed up of cobbled streets!
