Station Hall

---

In summer 2011, Station Hall reopened with a new line-up of vehicles. This is the first phase of a redevelopment process – the start of a journey that, over the course of 2012, will create a more immersive 'railway station' experience in the hall.

Station Hall will continue to evolve over the coming months, and we want you to help it take shape. We're looking for your ideas, your stories, your experiences – even your old suitcases – so we can make them part of the new exhibition.

How you can get involved

You can tell us your station story: use our online form to send us your station worker and railway passenger stories.

During this initial phase, you can visit Station Hall and share your ideas. You'll soon be able to tell us your stories and submit ideas via this web page: updates soon.

You can help make our plans a reality by donating to the project. Donate via The Big Give

You can donate old suitcases and goods boxes, which will eventually be displayed in Station Hall to help create a busy station atmosphere. More details at the blog.

Our blog will have regular updates that will take you behind-the-scenes with the team. National Railway Museum blog

Keep an eye on our social web pages on Facebook and Twitter for updates on how you can get involved.
