We visited the Head of Steam Railway museum to learn about how Victorian’s would travel on their holidays to the seaside. We looked at the different jobs that people did on the railway such as the train driver, ticket collector and fire man. We handled some objects and discussed how they were used. After, we were able to explore the museum and had lots of fun finding answers to questions. The Locomotion was there and we were amazed to find out that it was the first passenger train but it only travelled 10mph. We sat in the large train carriage and pretended that we were on a journey to Saltburn – it was very cramped. We had a fabulous time but all agreed that our trains are much comfier… and faster!
