National Raliway Museum Visit  Leeman Road York YO26 4XJ https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/   We visited on 20.02.18. I travelled there by train from Huddersfield.   There were alternative stations, but a lot more city trains travel through this one than the alternative, which was Halifax.     City trains have a much better layout for wheelchair users. Local trains can be hard work, especially at peak times much more smaller wheelchair bays, lots of commuters etc.     I didn’t book assistance in advance although it is recommended.   The staff were very helpful & ensured the ramp was deployed safely both on and off the train.                                                   Here...
