Collecting Tickets
Your ticket shows you have paid for your journey.
Sometimes you can keep your ticket after your journey and take it home.
Make your own collection of tickets. Stick them into a book.
Looking at them will remind you of the places you have seen.
How water made the Cliff Railway work.
The Cliff Railway works by electricity today but it used to work using water. You can play a game in the bath to see how it used to work.
Get two plastic cups. Get an adult to help you make two holes on opposite sides of the rims of each. Thread a piece of string through the holes, so you have a cup at each end of the string.
Hang the cups either side of the soap rack over the bath, so one dangles either side. (If you haven't got a soap rack a broom handle balanced across the bath will work.)
Pour water from a jug into one cup, it will go down. Empty the water into the bath. Now pour water into the other cup, it will go down and the first cup will come up.
That is how the Cliff Railway used to work. It had a tank for water on top of each of the coaches. The two coaches were connected together. When the one at the top had its tank filled with water it would go down and pull the bottom coach with its empty water tank up.
