It’s the only place in the world where full-size steam engines can be seen passing each other – just as it was when steam ruled the rails.

Trains run every weekend of the year, bank holidays, and selected weekdays through the summer. In addition, First Class Restaurant Car Services provide five-course meals whilst travelling between Loughborough and Leicester. Childhood dreams can come true with a Drive a Locomotive Experience when you can take the regulator on a mighty steam locomotive or notch up on a powerful diesel. They also run many special events, including Steam Galas, Peppa Pig, Bonfire Night, 1940s Wartime Weekend, and Santa Specials.
