Railway Museum Road Train

York's two most popular attractions are probably York Minster and the National Railway museum. This little road train runs between the two attractions and is seen here crossing the River Ouse on Lendal Bridge. Jump on and pay to be transported between the two points. It has to be said though, that you do miss a pleasant walk between the two except for the bit walking in the tunnell under the railway lines which is damp, smelly and littered with pigeon droppings most of the time. Once out of the smelly tunnell you pass the memorial gardens, go through the arch of the city walls, cross the river, pass the entrance to the Museum Gardens, pass the library, get a glimpse of the Theatre Royal and the curve of the council offices in St Leonards with The Minster providing a dominant backdrop along Deangate. All in all a pleasant little walk and you get time to linger over some of the sights I have mentioned rather than being whisked along in the road train which takes the same route.
