National Railway Museum, York The National Railway Museum on Leeman Road in the historic City of York is home artefacts and exhibition telling the story from the steam locomotives from yesteryear to the present high speed trains of today and holds over 100 engines. The National Railway Museum holds many of the most famous train in history. It tells of the story of George Stephenson and his family when in 1822 he was commissioned to build a locomotive powered by steam to run along railroad which his son George Stephenson helped to survey, from Stockton to Darlington in the North East of England. Stephenson change engineering and locomotive history when he built the Rocket locomotive which could travel at over twenty five miles an hour. The National Rail Museum is also home to arguably the most magnificent locomotive of all. The Flying Scotsman. It is planned that it will once again grace the tracks and run excursions through out the summer after it was brought to York after a fundraising campaign which saw the National Railway Museum being the permanent home of the Flying Scotsman. The museum is also home to the Shinkansen Bullet Train all the way from Japan and is the only one to be displayed outside of its home country. The Shinkansens are the world famous super-express Bullet Train and are the fastest in Japan travelling up to 300 kilometres an hours. It journey from Japan was almost as impressive as the train itself. Of course we all know which is the best train ever conceived and what people come from around the world to visit. It is of course Thomas the Tank engine and when he comes to town everyone knows about it. It is only when Thomas is on show that there is a charge to enter the museum otherwise it is free to enter all year round and is only closed from Christmas Eve through to Boxing day so there's no excuse to miss one of York's favourite attractions.
