Finally
It’s not often you get the chance to press an emergency button, so this seems like a great opportunity to try it. Between the photo session in a station staff uniform and the junior station staff ID cards, children who love trains are sure to have a fantastic time. We’re also curious about the “We Asked the Station Staff” exhibition—it sounds like a chance to learn things you don’t normally get to ask about.
