VMS Posted February 3, 2013 Report Posted February 3, 2013 I can remember the old transport museum in Eglighton toll and might be that things seem better when looking back to when you were a wean,but when i went to the new one i could not help but think that although a new venue it didnae seem to have as much in it as the original one but still good tae see.

Guest IB Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 Eggy toll 1 was in Albert dr Memory not too clever. Was that not an interim move? Used to be at Kelvin Hall, moved out to old tram depot (next to Pollokshields East station) which is now Tramway Theatre - then ??? OR was it there first then Kelvin Hall, then Clydeside?

Blue Chequer Pied Posted February 5, 2013 Report Posted February 5, 2013 I have taken my kids there loads of times when down in Glasgow visiting family. It really is a fantastic place not been for a few years as it was being renovated if I remember correctly. I will have to make a point of going this year.
