National Railway Museum in the UK

The railway system in Great Britain is known as the oldest in the world and has its prominent role in developing the local economy and bringing tourists from all over the world to travel within cities. The intensive railway networks privatized between 1994 and 1997 nowadays are operated by different companies. 


Does British Rail system always punctual? When I lived in Brighton, Southern rail seemed often strike (><). Besides, according to BBC report (2017), ‘the Office of Rail and Road said 12.3% of trains - nearly one in eight - were not on time last year.’ What if a delay of 30 minutes or more was made to your train journey? Luckily, you can claim for a delayed compensation to reduce complaints. 

Many ancient British trains, glinting brightly without any rusting metal appearances, display gracefully in National Railway Museum for providing people with a good chance to recall the past days. 


National Railway Museum is one of the most popular attractions at York. Every weekend, there are many families coming to visit the place where many antique trains were honourably retired from duty and well maintained to tell their glory history.



There are also some memorable trains that originated from Japan and Switzerland. Each of them was designed for different transportation purposes, such as travelling or medical and represents as a sophisticated masterpiece of design in industrial technology.



While the train is the simplest, most convenient and cost-effective way to travel from one city to another in the UK (also in Europe), the train fares have risen since 2011 and could be notoriously expensive. To find cheap tickets, there are some tips suggested by the Telegraph (2018).

I still remember a post on a bus, saying 'only the fool will pay double price for the same item' So Let’s be smart! Book your journey earlier and reduce the travelling cost.


英國國家鐵路博物館

英國的鐵路系統被稱為世界上最古老的鐵路系統,它在發展當地經濟以及提供來自世界各地的遊客在城市內旅行方面發揮著顯著的作用。 1994年至1997年期間私營化的密集鐵路網絡,現在由不同公司營運。

英國鐵路系統總是守時嗎?當我住在布賴頓時,南線鐵路似乎經常發生罷工(哈哈)。此外,根據英國廣播公司(BBC)的報告(2017年),“鐵路和公路總局表示12.3%的火車 - 接近八分之一 - 去年沒有及時到達。”如果延遲30分鐘或更長時間旅程怎麼辦?幸運的是,您可以要求延遲賠償來減少埋怨。

許多古老的英國列車,閃閃發光,沒有任何生鏽的金屬外觀,在國家鐵路博物館優雅地展示給人們一個很好的機會回顧過去的日子。

國家鐵路博物館是約克最受歡迎的景點之一。每個週末,都有許多家庭前來參觀,許多古董火車都光榮地退役並保持良好的狀態,講述他們的輝煌歷史。https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/

還有一些來自日本和瑞士的令人難忘的火車。每個都是為不同的交通目的而設計的,例如旅行或醫療,並且代表了作為工業技術設計的精心傑作。

雖然火車是在英國(也在歐洲)從一個城市到另一個城市旅行的最簡單,最方便和最划算的方式,但自2011年以來,列車票價已經上漲,並且可能會非常昂貴。為了找到便宜的門票,Telegraph還提供了一些小撇步(2018):


我還記得公車上有貼一篇文,說'只有傻瓜才會為同一件物品支付雙倍的價格'所以,要聰明點!早點預訂行程來降低旅行成本。
