Update – Class 55 Deltic D9015 Tulyar 

●

March 31, 2026

Despite the best efforts of all involved to see D9015 return to traffic after 30 years this April, some last-minute setbacks have meant that it will not be available to feature during our Spring Diesel Gala. We’re sorry for any disappointment this will cause. 

We continue to work closely with our friends at the Deltic Preservation Society and look forward to hosting a launch event for D9015 later this year. D9015 will make its gala debut at our Autumn Diesel Gala which run from Thursday 3rd to Sunday 6th September.

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.
