  • Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034 Operational Rail Vehicle Strategy 2019-2034
    OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 OPERATIONAL RAIL VEHICLE STRATEGY 2019-2034 INTRODUCTION The Science Museum Group (SMG) through the National Railway Museum (NRM) owns the largest fleet of operating historic locomotives in the United Kingdom, so it’s essential that we have a strategy to ensure the most effective and efficient use of these vehicles. The NRM, Locomotion and Science & Industry Museum in Manchester (SIM) will continue to operate a select number of rail vehicles from our collection. Showing our collections in action is one of the most direct tools we have to share our key values with visitors: revealing wonder, igniting curiosity and sharing authentic stories. What’s more, our visitors expect a train ride. We need to meet that expectation whilst managing our collection in the most professional and responsible manner. A commercially viable and deliverable plan will see a core selection of operating vehicles at York and Locomotion within the maintenance capabilities of teams at those locations. These have been chosen for reasons of accessibility, affordability, income potential, attractiveness to visitors, practicality of operation and sustainable repair as well as the railway stories they reveal. We use our rail vehicles in various ways with priority always given for static display for our visitors at York and Shildon. Other ways in which we use them are: operation on museum sites; static loans to accredited museums; operating loans to heritage railways; main line operation. Our loans reach diverse audiences across the UK, making the national collection accessible to many. These vehicles are brand ambassadors for our mission of inspiring future engineers and scientists.
