I love this place. I have been visiting since a child. I am not particularly interested in trains, but this museum is genuinely fantastic ! For me, the Warehouse is of particular interest- it holds some 'hidden gems', and I always find something new and fascinating every time I visit. It is also brilliant as you can just wander around, there is no pressure to go a certain way etc. It is such a relaxed atmosphere which I think definitely adds to it. Another amazing piece of the museum are the extremely old railway carriages, which are beautiful.…

You don't have to be a train enthusiast to enjoy this place! With limited admissions due to Covid there was plenty of space to explore safely. The museum itself is fantastic, beautiful engines in immaculate condition, helpful information boards and wheelchair accessible.

A great museum which we’ve visited before, but the service we received on our recent visit was shocking. Asked to prebook tickets which the system allowed us to do, turned up at the entrance, lights all on, displays all on, door locked. Called three times to get through to the customer line only to be told museum is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, yet system allows you to book. All advertising outside and on booking section says they’re open, yet you have to go elsewhere on web to discover the ‘opening hours’ very misleading and another couple was there with us outside with the same problem. Clearly NRM are just as good at managing this as they did with Flying Scotsman, paid too much, overspent heavily on the restoration and was years late when finally finished. Perhaps they should try brewery management and oraganising a get together instead!…
