National Railway Museum

The National Railway Museum is part of the Science Museum Group and is located in York. The museum recounts the story of rail travel in the United Kingdom and its social influence. The national collection of historically notable railway cars, including the Mallard, Stirling Single, Duchess of Hamilton, and a Japanese bullet train, is housed there. The National Train Museum also has a broad collection of other items, ranging from a family recipe book used in George Stephenson's home to a video depicting a "never-stop railway" created for the British Empire Exhibition. Many honors have been bestowed upon it, including the European Museum of the Year Award in 2001.

The museum is preparing to embark on a significant site development project in 2019. The National Railway Museum will construct a new entry building to join the two different components of the museum as part of the York Central redevelopment, which would redirect Leeman Road. Simultaneously, the area surrounding the museum will be planted to provide public areas.
