点评:I used to come regularly before this museum was rebranded more than a decade ago, the last time I came was 2014. I came with a friend who hadn't been for more than 20 years. The first impression isn't brilliant as you are not given a map or guide to follow - you need to take a photo of one. To be honest this isn't a huge issue but entrance isn't cheap so you kind of expect one. We were disappointed that the large Cornish engine isn't in steam due to long-standing maintenance issues. The initial displays are very good in terms of explaining the role of the pumping station and specifically how sewage has been processed over the years then one comes into the engine hall to see some of the small engines in steam. The highlight was seeing the Bull engine being powered up. I was hoping to see a good display of model railways so was a little disappointed to find a single circuit layout with just 2 trains going round and round and round again although I did recognise at least one of the railway enthusiasts from years ago when they had some amazing displays. All in all this is a nice museum but it is relatively expensive and over promises.
翻译:十多年前,在这家博物馆重新命名之前,我经常来这里,上次来是 2014 年。我和一个 20 多年没来的朋友一起来的。第一印象并不好,因为没有地图或指南可供参考 - 你需要拍张照片。说实话,这不是什么大问题,但门票不便宜,所以你还是有点期待的。由于长期的维护问题,我们很失望那台大型康沃尔发动机没有蒸汽。最初的展示非常出色,解释了泵站的作用,特别是多年来污水的处理方式,然后人们进入发动机大厅,看到一些蒸汽小型发动机。亮点是看到 Bull 发动机启动。我本来希望看到一个很好的模型铁路展示,所以有点失望地发现只有两列火车在单回路布局中一圈又一圈地行驶,尽管我确实认出了至少一位多年前他们举办过一些精彩展示的铁路爱好者。总的来说,这是个不错的博物馆,但价格相对昂贵,而且承诺过多。
