VISITORS to a museum will get the chance to drive a train in exchange for just £5 this weekend.
The National Railway Museum (NRM) in York is running a Diesel Cab It weekend on Saturday and Sunday.
Visitors can become a Diesel Driver for a Fiver and drive the NRM's 08911 locomotive, under supervision, in the South Yard.
Diesel locomotives from the national collection will be giving train rides and there will be a large display of modern and historic diesel and electric trains.
Jon Pridmore, programmes officer at the NRM, said: "It is always a delight to be able to run a Cab It event, as it gives people of all ages the chance to experience what it is like to stand on the footplate of these historic locomotives."
