It alternated between rain and drizzle this morning. We walked over to the Museum of Science and Industry along the main tramline through the city centre. The trams were all busy even though all of the routes converge in the short centre section.
The Museum was a complete disappointment. Much if it is spread out over several floors and is aimed at young kids. The 1830 Station was just a few bare empty rooms with a few pictures which gave no indication of the way in which it was used. The one platform was not even mentioned as the platform from which the trains ran. The big warehouse which stores all of the railway exhibits was under renovation and will not be reopened until 2022. Virtually all of the site is surrounded by scaffolding.

We decided to cut our losses and leave for York early. The piddly little train provided did not have enough seats for everybody with the result that people had to stand for over an hour. Just about every train we saw needed one additional carriage.
We spent the afternoon at the York Railway Museum which I will cover tomorrow.
