Last Hurrah Diesel Gala

Last Hurrah Diesel Gala

Ending the season with a weekend of diesel action

Why should steam fans have all the fun? Say goodbye to 2026 and get some miles in with an intensive weekend timetable starring the GCR diesel home fleet.

Following the popular Last Hurrah Steam Gala, the spotlight turns to heritage diesel traction for one final gala weekend of the year. Expect a busy timetable, plenty of mileage, and the chance to see the Great Central Railway’s diesel fleet out in force.

Whether you’re a long-time diesel enthusiast or simply enjoy the distinctive sights and sounds of classic diesel locomotives, this is the perfect opportunity to round off the year on the railway.
