I bet you thought that I had forgotten that York is home to the worlds largest museum devoted to all things trains and railways. Well I hadn't, its just a case that I had to fit a day there around the various amended opening times due to it being February and also the pandemic, and the limited transport to places like Fountains Abbey. But here we are at the National Railway Museum. I could bore you for hours about this place but instead I will just leave you with a few pictures.

Inter-City 125 - the greatest train ever built!
One of these holds the world speed record for a diesel train (148mph) |
