Join us over the Bank Holiday Weekend, 3rd, 4th and 5th May and step back in time to experience travel as it would have been over 100 years ago. The restored vintage carriages will be brought out of the museum and steam hauled for visitors to enjoy a taste of rail travel of the past.The weekend will feature steam and the vintage coaches.
Midland Railway Trust volunteers will be on the trains in period costume to add to the atmosphere and answer your questions and for children there’s a special vintage themed I-Spy competition.
Visitors in Victorian costume travel at half price (on the day ticket sales only).
