National Rail Museum in York, England

On our way back from Scotland, we broke up the drive by stopping in York, England at the National Railway Museum. It's free to visit, and was large enough to allow Charlotte to run around and get some energy out! It was interesting to see the wide variety of trains present, from different eras. I enjoyed seeing some of the Pullman cars. Many of the trains had stairs allowing a full view into the seating areas as well. 








We grabbed a quick lunch in the cafe, before buying tickets on the over-ground tram that takes you into downtown York. You have the option to disembark the tram to visit York Cathedral, which looked amazing; however, given our desire to get back home before it got too late, we ended up just enjoying the ride. Charlotte was a big fan!

We laughed at the screenshot from Paul's phone that showed a long line of traffic seemingly queuing up behind the tram!
