The Countess of York

This is the picture of the Countess of York, which you can find in the National Railway Museum of York. It is a restored railway carriage reconverted into a tea room. Apparently, they serve truly indulgent afternoon teas. I don't know why we did not go there when we visited the museum. Prohibitively expensive, maybe? (It is £25.50 per person for an afternoon tea). Not enough time? Be that as it may, we ate in the "ordinary" cafeteria, like the pleb we are. I must say, by hindsight I kind of regret it. Because for the experience of eating in a luxurious carriage, even though this one is not in motion, it would have been worth the expense. Anyway, whenever we revisit the NRM, I think we will go there for tea.
