Join us for the return of our Spring Steam Weekend, where you can experience travelling behind three of the GCR steam home fleet plus a diesel railcar at the UK’s only preserved double-track mainline.
Whether you’re a railway enthusiast or want to travel back to the golden age of steam, join us for a thrilling weekend, including action-packed timetables and nostalgic journeys through the flourishing Charnwood countryside.
Our intensive passenger steam timetable means the action never stops. Trains will be running frequently throughout the weekend, so you have plenty of opportunities to catch a ride on one of our vintage steamers.
Watch history in motion with our demonstration goods trains throughout the weekends. These showcases give you a glimpse into the past and demonstrate how railroads contributed to industrial growth, adding plenty of variety to the timetable.
Get up close and see the engine with our footplate visits, and chat with the crew that controls them.
