Sir.-At the weekend I went to Milestones to look at the steam engines and other historic vehicles on display.

I was most disappointed to find that, in order to have access to these, I would have to buy a ticket for £6.50 which included entrance to the museum.

As a local resident I have already visited the museum on more than one occasion, so I didn't bother going in and neither did another couple in front of me in the queue.

Surely it would have been more beneficial to have organised two levels of entry ticket, one including entrance to the museum and the other solely to the vehicles and stalls.
