Heritage Train Rides, Stephenson Steam Railway, North Shields

Heritage train rides are back on track at Stephenson!

May 26th, 27th, 30th and June 2nd

Take a four mile return trip (35-40 minutes) following the route of the coal trains from the collieries to the River Tyne behind a vintage locomotive in our 1950s passenger carriages.

Before or after your train ride, why not explore the museum and discover the fascinating displays and interpretation of our collections. Don’t forget to say hello to Killingworth Billy, the world’s third oldest steam locomotive!

The shop is open for railway-related books and souvenirs, and our Waggonway Tea Room will be serving a limited range of hot and cold drinks, snacks and cakes.

Please note that heritage train rides are subject to the availability of volunteer crew.

Train running days: 30 minutes before the first train departures. Please check Ticketsource for train running times and ticket prices
