The National Railway Museum Podcast https://nationalrailwaymuseumpodcast.podbean.com Welcome to the National Railway Museum Podcast, recorded at our museum in York.

When it comes to railways, some stories run so deep they encompass multiple centuries. In this podcast we take our time to dive deeper—with help from experts along the way.

Join our curator and host Oli Betts as we explore a multitude of topics including the first railways the world ever saw (before Stephenson's Rocket came on the scene in 1829), the royal family's relationship with railways, railways in Japan and plenty more further down the line.

Our podcast is filmed in Countess of York, the home of delicious afternoon tea at our museum. For more information about Countess and our museum, head to: https://www.railwaymuseum.org.uk/
