History In Motion - The Story Of The East Anglican Transport Museum (DVD)

History In Motion

Advantages: Lots to see and do, working history, unlimited rides, friendly
Disadvantages: You'll want to keep coming back, limited space for expansion

the surrounding land is attractive for property development. The museum is doing it's best though to make the best use of the available space, but it does limit future development. With the possible exception of the train (a doubling of length into the woods is not impossible) the runs on site a now at their limits (or will be, as of July when the back road opens). Overall, I would definitely recommend the East Anglia Transport Museum, especially for those interested in Transport, or a big of nostalgia, but also for those who would like to experience a part of history they never knew. ...

Review of East Anglia Transport Museum

London Transport Museum

Advantages: Great place to take kids
Disadvantages: Not very big and a bit pricey for adults.

galleries, Shop and Café. There are lifts to all floors and many of the exhibits are sunk into the ground to allow wheeled access through the carriages and so on. There are ramps for all short drops and the gangways are plenty wide enough for manoeuvring buggies and chairs.

In the lift you are meant to feel like you are travelling back in time, news headlines coming through the speakers tell of the death of Princess Diana, Armstrong walking on the moon, peace in our time and so on until the doors open and you see horse drawn omnibuses. However by the time you twig what ...

Review of London Transport Museum (London)

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum

Advantages: Nostalgic, Historical
Disadvantages: Admission Charges, Limited Opening Hours

The South Yorkshire Transport Museum can be found at Aldwarke, near Rotherham in South Yorkshire. Until recently this Transport Museum was located in the former Tinsley Tram Sheds between Sheffield and Rotherham. I visited here about 4 years ago and it was then called the Sheffield Bus Museum. Now it has relocated, it has been given a new name, the South Yorkshire Transport Museum. The former Sheffield Bus Museum first opened its doors to the Public ten years ago, in 1997. In December 2006 this Museum closed, re-opening at its present location a few weeks ago, in the Spring of 2007. This Museum has a collection of Trams and Buses that were once in use in Sheffield and the surrounding area. All of these have been fully restored and are in pristine condition. Almost all of them are also in full working order and when the weather is ...
