Steam Gala Day today!

A great day out for everyone

Featuring locos from the railway’s fleet, guest locos, heritage carriages, photo opportunities, signal box tours, footplate rides and railway nostalgia.

A chance to see Hunslett Howard 

A guest loco visiting courtesy of Statfold Barn Railway. This is the first time Howard, has been operated away from Statfold, so don’t miss your chance to see this big loco in action here in the North Pennines.

Ogwen and Cegin

Local steam locos, Ogwen and Cegin, used to construct Burnhope reservoir in Weardale in the 1930’s will be joining us too.

Footplate rides

While passenger trains are out there will be opportunities for footplate rides around our sidings.
