‘Outstanding’ railway museum set to open on April 15
THE country’s newest railway museum, which forms part of an ongoing £2½ million project to convert the 150-year-old Harwich Town station in Essex into a major historical railway and maritime attraction, is to open on April 15.
It was originally hoped that, appropriately, David Buck’s B1 No. 61306 Mayflower would mark the opening at the head of a London-Harwich railtour, but the 4-6-0 has been declared out of gauge by Network Rail.
