Paid a vist wednesday along with my daughter and her partner.............huge disappointment!
I spotted me a Springbok, Zebra, caseful of pistols and not to forget..... Audrey Hepburn's dress. Would much rather have seen the Royal Coach, Atlantean LA1, The trolley bus TBS13 and Jackie Stewart's car among other things. The wall of cars seemed a ridiculous idea. We were also left with the impression that the exhibits were installed last minute and in such a way that if you had planned a visit to compare the exhibits of a particular mode of traffic you'd be left skipping from one location to another...............the trams & model ships being two good examples.
I also found the Subway display a great dissapointment.
The whole affair looks like it's been put together by a group of people that have very little interest in Transport whatsoever, that coupled with the fact that they ignored local talent and bought in the design makes it all the more infuriating.
Another great chance blown by the city fathers.
