It'll be called the Forgotten Island and will run 5 days a week over a 10 week period from July to September 2011.
The cost of this temporary project is estimated at £150,000.
No, that's not a typo. One hundred and fifty thousand pounds.
So its only accessible for 10 weeks? 5 days a week? 50 days? 3000 quid a day? To design, procure, install and run?
Sounds ok to me. Things cost money. Is this connected to the transport museum at all? IE is it part of the place?

Of course it ain't so, but nobody's told those in charge of any number of cities where they keep trying to repeat the trick...
