GREAT news from @RailwayMuseum in York: the museum's Station Hall exhibition is to be refreshed. Overseen by @celkingston, over 2021/2 the royal trains will be shuffled, 200 new objects displayed, plus more on railway workers, inc stories of women and Windrush generation (1/4)
Objects to be displayed in NRM's refresh include the old @LondonWaterloo wooden WH Smith kiosk, the Royal Train class 47 loco "Prince William", and (possibly) a waiting room display inc these beautiful Grantham station tiles, currently in store at @sciencemuseum Wroughton (2/4)
Designers will be appointed soon, with vehicle moves & construction to happen in 2022 (Covid-dependent, obv). There's also major roof restoration happening, AND wonderfully, film & sounds from National Archive of Railway Oral History. Much of this funded by @friends_railway.(3/4)
. @RailwayMuseum's £500k redisplay will enable assembly of complete royal trains (matched w/ period locos), plus voices of women, the first Black railway workers, AND stories about the building itself, goods traffic and impact on York and beyond. Something for all. Ace. (4/4) 👍
