Road Rail Steam Event – Update

●

March 6, 2026

Due to a number of operational and event management challenges, we have taken the difficult decision to pause this year’s Road, Rail & Steam event. As a volunteer-led, not-for-profit organisation, taking a year out will allow us the time and resources to review and strengthen this much-loved event and we look forward to bringing it back in 2027 with renewed energy, offering a stronger experience for visitors and participants alike.

How you can help

Support the future of the Great Central Railway by donating today.
Your generous contribution helps safeguard this unique heritage line, not only through the landmark Reunification project—which will reconnect two separate heritage railways to create an eighteen-mile route from the north of Leicester to the south of Nottingham—but also in the vital day-to-day running of the railway.
Donations directly support the maintenance and restoration of our stations and locomotives, the preservation of historic infrastructure, and the training and development of our dedicated staff and volunteers. They ensure the railway continues to thrive as both a living museum and a community resource.
By giving, you’re helping us preserve one of Britain’s most cherished heritage railways, so that future generations can step aboard, experience authentic steam and diesel travel, and discover the stories of the past. Every contribution, large or small, makes a lasting difference in keeping the spirit of the Great Central Railway alive.
