Despite it being clearly indicated on the museum wall that the fare was £3.50 it was actually £5 one way each for about a 2 mile 15 minute ride. An Uber for 2 would have been less ? Why with all the access problems and diversions is there not a bus service into the city instead of being held to ransom by the only option into the city if you have limited mobility like ourselves? Not impressed.

This train goes from the centre of the town out to the railway museum, it's a decent walk out to the museum so I was happy to ride the train going back into town
