The WORLD'S FIRST Railways? | National Railway Museum Podcast: Episode 1

from The National Railway Museum Podcast · host Science Museum Group

Welcome to the National Railway Museum podcast! Railway 200 caused a lot of debate around what we mean when we say railway—so in our first episode Oli Betts and Anthony Coulls take a long look at what happened in the UK before 1825 and explore what the word railway actually means! 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/
