Go East for Easter! The Great Central Railway is delighted to present a line up of steam motive power with an eastern region flavour.

Top of the bill of course is celebrity new build locomotive, Peppercorn Pacific number 60163 "Tornado" will be running over the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.This is your last chance to see it in action at the railway before it moves back to the national network. Don't miss your chance to get up close and personal to this exciting engine.

NORMAL FARES APPLY SO BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!

We've got two other fantastic engines in action as well. The N2 (built in 1921) and the GCR O4 (built in 1912). All engines appear subject to availability and will feature on different days over the Easter weekend so please check before you visit if you are looking to ride behind something in particular. 

Indulge yourself with a rover ticket and enjoy miles of steam behind some very special engines.
