We have no pleasure in reporting disappointing visitor figures at Swindon's STEAM Museum.

It is in nobody's interest for the attraction to fail. It is the town's flagship and it reflects our proud railway history.

Visitors to STEAM tell us what an excellent time they have had and coupled with the Great Western Designer Outlet Village next door we have an attraction capable of bringing people in from miles around.

With further marketing and a lot of hard work, there is no reason for it not to succeed.
