YOUNGSTERS will be able to get the answers to some intriguing questions through a summer project at one of the region's top attractions.

The National Railway Museum, in York, is providing guided explorations for children aged from seven to 11.

During the Fascinating Facts Tours, children will be able to discover answers to the things they have always wondered about. Tours take place on Fridays at 12.30pm and 2.30pm until August 27.

The themes range from speed and holidays to getting up steam and the museum's Aladdin's Cave. As well as the tours, summer activities up to August 30 will also include train rides.

For a short period, Harry Potter fans will also be able to see the locomotive, Olton Hall, otherwise known as Hogwarts Castle, the engine that pulled Hogwarts Express in the movies.
