Episode Details

The Duke of Gloucester took a firsthand look at the National Railway Museum’s sweeping £multi-million renovation, part of a broader urban regeneration push in York. During his tour, he marveled at iconic engines like Stephenson’s Rocket and the Mallard, even inspecting a replica cab named after him — a nod to his own past as a driver of the real Duke of Gloucester locomotive in the 1980s. He was especially intrigued by the new Central Hall, an architectural centerpiece inspired by historic roundhouses, designed to welcome all visitors with fresh galleries, a café, and shops. Plans also include a Futures Gallery spotlighting next-gen rail tech. With his architectural background, the Duke offered keen insight into the design, helping shape a vision that blends Britain’s railway legacy with an inspiring, accessible future for millions of visitors.
