 In June 2017, the state government released plans to construct a brand new railway station for a Port Dock spur line, in Baker street, adjacent to the museum.The new station would have service future residents living in the Dock One development which started construction in 2020.However, in June 2019, the project was called off, and the preliminary works were undone in January 2020, and permanently blocked in March 2020 when the museum constructed a shed over where the proposed railway station was to be constructed.
