About
Join us for a heritage train ride with a spooky twist! Embark on a four-mile round trip (35-40 minutes) tracing the path of coal trains from the collieries to the River Tyne, all while riding in our vintage 1950s passenger carriages. But this Halloween, the journey gets an eerie upgrade—travel in a specially themed spooky carriage for a hauntingly fun experience!
After your train ride, make sure to stop off around the museum to complete our spooky trail and Halloween Lantern making activity.
We'd love to see you in your scariest Halloween costume - best-dressed will win a prize!
Please note, there is no entertainment on these train rides. Our Halloween Ghost Train event is on Sunday 3 November. Click here for more details.
