\u2018Locomotion\u2019), making a series of accessibility recommendations that are part of the established infrastructure of the site.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">We are thrilled to announce that these recommendations will now feed into their new building plans, whereby Locomotion will ask the public and visitors to have their say for a new \u00a35.9 million collection building. The museum, based at Shildon, is displaying the plans at a free exhibition from 19 January until 23 January. This will give people a chance to see the plans before they are sent for planning approval later this year.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Shildon was the terminus of the Stockton &amp; Darlington Railway when it opened in 1825. It was the first public railway in the world and now houses the Locomotion Museum, celebrating the great history of this iconic site. On 19 January from 3pm until 7pm there will also be a face-to-face open session, giving people the chance to ask the project team whatever questions they might have about the proposals.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The key aim of the proposal is to reinvigorate the site into an even more significant tourist attraction and to showcase the cultural heritage of County Durham, which is gunning for UK City of Culture 2025.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Direct Access is deeply honoured to have played a cog in the reinvigorating of this museum. An expansion of disabled visitors is a win-win situation for both the Science Museum Group and the people of Durham who will have greater access to the new facilities as well as the education and rich history the site has to offer.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Furthermore, the National Railway Museum in York has submitted a \u2018reserved matters\u2019 planning application for a new Central Hall. This Central Hall is intended as a new welcome space and gallery which will be located between the museum\u2019s Great Hall and Station Hall. If successful, the new hall will unite the museum buildings and be a cornerstone of Vision 2025 \u2013 the museum\u2019s five-year journey to transform its offering and become the World\u2019s Railway Museum. A brand new Wonderlab (experimental and interactive play space for young children) will also be a part of this project.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our Senior Access Consultant, Tom Morgan (pictured above), worked for the Wonderlab gallery at the National Media Museum in Bradford and provided guidance throughout the design and build phases of the National Railway Museum in York.<\/span><\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Direct Access continues to collaborate with the Science Museum Group and looks forward to the results of these expansions.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e9e6cb4 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e9e6cb4\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5ab16c5\" data-id=\"5ab16c5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-e728e73 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"e728e73\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-88c3afb\" data-id=\"88c3afb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0e53612 elementor-post-navigation-borders-yes elementor-widget elementor-widget-post-navigation\" data-id=\"0e53612\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"post-navigation.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation\" role=\"navigation\" aria-label=\"Post Navigation\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__prev elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/uk\/news\/most-british-websites-fail-to-meet-best-practice-accessibility-standards\/\" rel=\"prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-prev\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-left\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Prev<\/span><\/span><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__prev\"><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--label\">Previous<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__prev--title\">Most British websites fail to meet best practice accessibility standards<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__separator\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-post-navigation__next elementor-post-navigation__link\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/directaccessgp.com\/uk\/news\/assistive-technology-venture-announced-by-policy-connect-2\/\" rel=\"next\"><span class=\"elementor-post-navigation__link__next\"><span class=\"post-navigation__next--label\">Next<\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__next--title\">Assistive Technology venture announced by Policy Connect<\/span><\/span><span class=\"post-navigation__arrow-wrapper post-navigation__arrow-next\"><i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-angle-right\"><\/i><span class=\"elementor-screen-only\">Next<\/span><\/span><\/a>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Locomotion Museum opens Consultation on new building Last year, Direct Access worked with the National Railway Museum (now called \u2018Locomotion\u2019), making a series of accessibility recommendations that are part of the established infrastructure of the site.
