Our partners City of York Council and the National Railway Museum have reached an agreement to extend hours of pedestrian access through Central Hall, once major works are complete and it is open to the public.
The local community requested that the hours of access be reviewed to make it available outside museum opening hours.
Central Hall is the National Railway Museum’s brand new welcome building. It will include a welcome and orientation hall, a café overlooking the new museum square, a shop, and a new gallery that explores and imagines the future of railways.
As part of the permissions for the redevelopment of the area, access was agreed for the public to walk through the museum during opening hours. A new pedestrian, cycle and road route was also approved. The existing Walkway Agreement in place between City of York Council and NRM, which governs the use of the walkway by pedestrians during the museum’s normal opening hours, is unchanged and will come into effect when Central Hall opens to the public.
